Have you ever wanted to learn the story of Pennhurst? Explore the grounds and buildings? Now you can! Pennhurst has been kind enough to offer a daytime benefit tour for the Spring-Ford Area Historical Society! A portion of ticket sales will be donated to our museum but these ticket sales also help fund the upkeep and documentation work for Pennhurst!
