Monson Developmental Center

The Monson Developmental Center was a Massachusetts state facility in Monson, Massachusetts. The property, whose core has been in state control since 1854, historically housed a variety of facilities for providing services to the indigent or sick. It was closed in 2012, and the state is (as of 2017) soliciting bids for sale and reuse of the developed portions of the property.
