Historical Marker
In 1948, Mary Behrend gave her 400-acre Glenhill Farm estate, including her farmhouse, painting studio, barn and carriage house, to Penn State to honor her late husband, Ernst, co-founder of Hammermill Paper Co. in 1957. Ernst's brother, Otto, left a $2 million bequest to the college, at that time the largest individual gift to Penn State. —Penn State Alumni Association
