Henryton State Hospital | Maryland’s Segregated TB Sanatorium #hiddenhistory #medicalapartheid
Hidden in the woods of Maryland stood Henryton State Hospital, a tuberculosis sanatorium built in 1922 exclusively for African Americans. While white patients were treated in well-funded facilities, Black patients were sent to Henryton—remote, underfunded, and neglected. Families often couldn’t visit, and the hospital’s creation was less about care than about segregation.
By the 1960s, antibiotics made TB manageable and Henryton closed. Its buildings were abandoned, crumbling into a ghostly monument to medical apartheid. The patients who suffered there remain largely forgotten.
One overlooked fact: even after Henryton shut down, its facilities were briefly repurposed for Black children with developmental disabilities—prolonging its role as a segregated institution before final closure.
