When The Circus
Came To Town
Pennhurst History to Remember
by J. Gregory Pirmann
For many years Pennhurst hosted a traveling circus that set up on the grounds and put on two shows for the residents and staff. The tradition continued into the mid-1970’s, when it was decided that, in line with the philosophy of community integration, taking people to the circus in the “real world” made a lot more sense than bringing one to them in the “world apart” of Pennhurst. While going to the circus like everyone else made sense, there was something wonderful about the circus suddenly appearing on the grounds one morning.
