Penn’s Cave For Sale
2026-09-24
The historic Penn’s Cave and Wildlife Park is officially up for sale for $34 million, hitting the market after 118 years of continuous ownership by the Campbell family. The 1,400-acre property in Gregg Township, Centre County, features America’s only all-water cavern on the National Register of Historic Places, a 308-acre wildlife park, and a private airport. Property owners Russ and Jeanne Schleiden announced they will accept purchase proposals starting October 1st, prioritizing a buyer who will preserve the site’s legacy. Concurrently, a bipartisan push led by State Rep. Kerry Benninghoff continues to advocate for the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to acquire the land as the state’s 126th state park. The family heavily favors state conservation over private commercial development, though funding failed to clear the 2026–27 state budget.
