==History==<br />
The Wrentham State School was built in 1906 in Wrentham, Massachusetts with the purpose of reducing the crowding at the Walter E. Fernald School in Waltham. The original campus was built out of nine converted family farm houses on 500 acres of land. Dr. George L. Wallace, the original Superintendent, accepted 10 boys who were transferred from Fernald to the new land in Wrentham in January of 1907. He proposed to have a total of 60 boys there by that summer.<ref>STATE SCHOOL AT WRENTHAM. (1907, Nov 10). Boston Daily Globe. Retrieved 09/23/2013</ref> Wallace, like many other Massachusetts mental health physicians at the time, followed the teachings of Dr. Samuel G. Howe of Boston. Howe believed in teaching and training of the mentally disabled, and preparing them for integration into society, rather than segregating them from the general population. <ref>Pfeiffer, David. Samuel Gridley Howe and 'Schools for the Feebleminded’, http://www.ragged-edge-mag.com/0103/0103ft2.html Accessed 23 Sep 2013.</ref> In the early years of the facility, able bodied young men with developmental disabilities were brought to the school to do farm work, and to learn skills of manual labor. <br />
<br />
As the school accepted more patients, both male and female, ranging in age and degree of disability, reports of abuse and scandal became ongoing at Wrentham. A 1973 lawsuit "Massachusetts Association for Retarded Citizens vs. Dukakis" claimed constitutional rights of patients at the facility had been violated. <ref>http://www.arcmass.org/home/whoweare/lawsuits/tabid/615/default.aspx</ref> A total of 1200 patients were housed at the facility in 1977, and overcrowding was a issue. There were reports of fluoride and radiation testing on patients there, and Federal Judge Joseph Tauro branded the facility "a disgrace" after a tour of the school that spring. <br />
<br />
The school was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1994. (#93001490)<ref>[http://http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/ma/Norfolk/state7.html]</ref><br />
<br />
The facility is still open, caring for the developmentally disabled in a group home environment. Patients are aged 30-90, and are all housed on the rural campus. New admissions are not being accepted, unless patients are transferred from another closing facility. <ref>Lutkevich, Colleen. "For the Disabled, Wrentham Center Builds True Community."
