The no-longer-abandoned Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, PA. Closed in 1970, ESP was left to decay until Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site Inc. began offering tours to the public in 1994. Now, it's one of the city's major tourist destinations, drawing over 220,000 visitors a year.

Luckily, they were kind enough to let me into some of the areas that are still off limits to the public 😉 https://www.abandonedamerica.us/eastern-state-penitentiary

Eastern State Penitentiary (Philadelphia, PA) | Abandoned America

Philadelphia's Eastern State Penitentiary is a stunning reminder of the lengths we went to to inspire remorse in criminals.

@AbandonedAmerica This is *such* a well done museum. One of my absolute favorites.
@museumphile same here. Always something new to see when you go back.
