Maumee Children's Home

Ohio · USA · Road

Eighteen buildings on River Road, sixteen of them connected underground. The tunnels lead to the boiler room, which is where the legend says children were.

The old children's home on River Road at Maumee, Ohio consists of eighteen buildings, sixteen of which are joined by tunnels running beneath them.

The legend held locally is that children here were abused and beaten, and sent down to the boiler room as punishment.

Explorers who found a basement door left ajar and went in describe finding the tunnel that leads to the boiler room, and another tunnel leading out of it.

The institution has been closed for some time.

What should be said is that mistreatment in American orphanages and children's homes of this era is documented across the country, in inquiry after inquiry, and needs no legend to support it. Whether it happened in these particular buildings is not something anyone has established.

The site is closed, unsafe and patrolled. The tunnels in particular are not somewhere to be.
