Preserving Pennhurst as a Memorial to the Past and an Investment in the Future

Published by Nathaniel C Guest on Mar 11, 2008

We, the undersigned, as concerned, responsible citizens, call on the developers of the former Pennhurst site, as well as state and local lawmakers, to preserve Pennhurst's Historic Campus Buildings and Landscape as a lasting memorial to the suffering and kindness, the triumphs and tragedies great and small, and the resiliency of the human spirit all played out at Pennhurst over its century of operation.

We remember the lessons of the past and honor our duty to pass them on to the future. We ask that the developer and lawmakers do the same by supporting this preservation effort.

Understanding the environmental, economic, and cultural benefits of preservation, we demand that any changes to the Pennhurst site incorporate both the creation of a memorial and the adaptive reuse of all campus structures.

In solemn and concerted effort,
The Undersigned
