they only patrol around like a few times then leave, just listen close for the cars, it's so quiet you can run back inside a building in time, thats what me & my friends did. During they day is better your 1st time!

Pennhurst seems to be in pretty bad shape, compared to others.

Well, for the first part, the only reason there is anything about the military is because of the power plants ONLY... i go quite often, and there is only patrol cars that run by every now and then, all you have to do is take a camera and some shit, and tell them you are there for pictures for a documentry or a web site, all they can do is tell you to leave

It is patroled by the local police, security for the nearby SE PA VA center, and is on state grounds right next to the active National Guard Armory, and like the man said, there's cameras. Philadelphia Magazine did an expose' on Pennhurst by Loretta Schwartz
( now Schwartz Nobel ) back in the Fall of 1976...well worth the price of a backcopy.

If you are going to take the time to track this down please read it with an open mind. It's basically another one sided look at life in Pennhurst. I remember when they came to do that article. No one was happy with the outcome.
