Conceived in the era of eugenics as a solution to what was termed the “problem of the feeble-minded,” state-operated institutions subjected people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to a life of compulsory incarceration. One of nearly 300 such facilities in the United States, Pennhurst State School and Hospital was initially hailed as a “model institution” but later revealed to be a nightmare. Learn more about Pennhurst and “The shame of Pennsylvania” during a lecture offered by the Chester County History Center on Wednesday, April 7 from 7-8 p.m. This is a pay-as-you-wish event held via Zoom.
