My mother lived at Pennhurst around 1930, she was the granddaughter of a grounds keeper. At that time, she said, both staff and residents farmed and raised pigs, chickens and crops, made their clothes and bedsheets, etc. It was like a large communal farm and my mother was not afraid of the residents and she, even though a child at the time, did not feel it was a bad place. She also helped out running errands, etc.
