Excerpt: Originally established in 1922 as a two-building school for children with Down syndrome, Pathfinder Village's genesis into an early American-style Colonial village was the life work of former Executive Director Marian Mullet, who envisioned "a very free environment where people can come and go at will, where neighborliness and friendship count, where you don't have to ask permission to do things."(Submitted on August 16, 2023.)
Now a 300-acre not-for-profit organization that includes a private school, summer camp, on-site businesses that provide prevocational opportunities for residents, enhanced clinical services, and a Down syndrome research and resource center, Pathfinder Village is a national leader in community-based services for children and adults with Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities.
