Historic Penn's Cave and Wildlife Park for Sale After Four Generations of Family Ownership
After nearly 150 years in operation, Historic Penn's Cave and Wildlife Park is being put up for sale following four generations of family ownership. The property has been owned by the Campbell family since 1908 and features a historic all-water cavern listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Located in Centre Hall, Pennsylvania, it spans over 1,400 acres with significant natural resources including water rights generating up to 11 million gallons per day. The site is home to diverse wildlife exhibits featuring native species such as bison and elk, along with a thriving ecosystem supporting local fauna like bald eagles and black bears. The family has emphasized environmental preservation while maintaining the property's tourism operations, which include guided tours, gemstone panning, and an active airport. The sale aims to find a new steward who can continue its legacy of conservation and community engagement. Proposals will be accepted starting October 1, 2026.
