Letchworth Village was a residential institution located in Rockland County, New York, in the hamlet of Thiells built for the physically and mentally disabled of all ages, from the newborn to the elderly. Opened in 1911, Letchworth Village at its peak consisted of over 130 buildings spread out over many acres of land. It was named for William Pryor Letchworth, who espoused reform in the treatment and care of the insane, epileptics, and poor children. On February 27, 1950, the first trial case of the polio vaccine in the United States was administered to an 8-year-old patient by Hilary Koprowski, after he tried it on himself. After the patient suffered no side effects, the vaccine was administered to 19 more of the institution's children. Out of a total of 20 children, 17 developed antibodies to the virus, and none developed any complications. Reports of inadequate funding and improper care of the residents, including children, were present dating back to the 1920s. Accounts surfaced of residents being found unclothed, unbathed, and neglected. In addition to rampant abuse among the institution's residents, staff also suffered abuse at the hands of co-workers, which included incidents of rape. In 1996 the institution was permanently closed down, and many of its abandoned structures have since fallen into serious disrepair. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPvQpWEdxoY https://www.instagram.com/jmexplorations18/ http://www.jmexplorationsadventurejournal.com/ jmexplorations18@gmail.com ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKRwR8EI-F8

#CampLaGuardia #AbandonedCemetery #Cemetery Join us as we visit the Marvin Farm Cemetery, also known as the Marvin-Helme Cemetery. Located near the western end of the grounds of the facility known as Camp LaGuardia. On a previous visit to this location, friends of ours had discovered this historic cemetery, Unfortunately, it had become extremely overgrown and appeared somewhat forgotten. Our plan was to spend the day giving this cemetery a little TLC. When we arrived, this beautiful cemetery had already been transformed and very much cared for. It was our honor to visit and pay our respects. Among the gravesites here, and laying in peaceful rest are the descendants of General Seth Marvin. 1745-1815 The following narrative was published in "Descendants of Reinold and Matthew Marvin of Hartford, CT., 1638 and 1635 Sons of Edward Marvin, of Great Bentley, England" by George Franklin Marvin & William T.R. Marvin (1904): "Seth was actively engaged in the Revolution; in 1775 he signed the "Association Pledge" in Orange co.; in 1775-6 he was first lieutenant of the "Cornwall minute-men," of which Thomas Moffatt was captain; later he was captain and lieut-colonel; his commission as colonel in the militia is preserved by his grand-daughter, Mrs. Moses Smith, of Chicago, 111.; he held this office until he was promoted, 29 March, 1806, to be a brigadier general. He resided in Chester, then a part of Cornwall, holding office therebetween 1765 and 1775. He was a school commissioner in 1798 and 1800. With his brother Elihu he was one of the charter members of the Farmers' Hall Academy, in Goshen. He was executor of his brother in-law's will, dated 14 May, 1780, and was frequently appointed by the Courts to settle estates and make partitions among heirs, 1797-1807. He served as a surveyor under the State Surveyor General. He was a charter member, 1796, and first Senior Warden, of Orange Lodge of Masons, Goshen. He was a member of the New York Assembly from Orange co., for ten terms between 1789 and 1812. Often intrusted with important public duties, he was a commissioner with George Clinton on the boundary line between New York and Pennsylvania. He was interred near the house which he occupied the latter part of his life, and which is still standing on the west road from Chester to Oxford. His gravestone says: "in his time a Christian philanthropist and statesman." In the summer of 1903, Mr. Nathan H. Helme (grandson of Seth) enclosed the burial-place which contains this grave and that of several of the family, with a fine iron fence, and erected a monument to his memory."
