The Templeton Developmental Center is a state-run facility for the mentally handicapped located in Templeton, in the U.S. state of Massachusetts.[2] Founded as the Templeton Farm Colony in 1899 through the efforts of Walter E. Fernald, superintendent of what is now called the Fernald School in Waltham, Massachusetts, the 1600-acre facility has been targeted for closure by recent state administrations.
The property and some of the buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]
