The History Of Edinburgh Manor
The town of Edinburgh was originally the county seat of Jones County. In June 1840, the land located at section 36 in Wayne Township was originally deeded for courthouse purposes with the grant being signed by President Buchanan. Shortly after this grant the county seat was changed from Edinburgh and the commissioners kept the grant for the establishment of the County Poor Farm. Described as a “comfortable retreat for the lazy, able-bodied and willingly dependent applicants,” the Poor Farm housed the poor, incurably insane and disabled. Tenants were given shelter and food for their labor. There are over 230+ documented deaths on the property.
Â
Edinburgh Manor was constructed from 1910-1911 to house the incurably insane, the poor and the elderly. Edinburgh Manor, also referred to as The Manor, was in operation until November 2010. Some documents and personal belongings can still be found in The Manor. When the last patients and employees left the building in 2010, they never returned. There are many layers of history to Edinburgh Manor, and even more mysteries to discover.
