The Willard Asylum for the Chronic Insane is a former state hospital in Willard, New York, United States, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 1865 the Legislature authorized the establishment of The Willard Asylum for the Insane.[1][2] Opened in 1869, the asylum offered low-cost custodial care.[3] The Willard drug treatment center was opened in 1995 on the campus of the former Willard Psychiatric State Hospital, a facility for mental patients.

In 1995, some 400 suitcases that were brought in by the patients were discovered in an asylum attic.[4][5]
