On May 31st, 1996 the North Bennington Graded School presented "A Glimpse Back in Time" for the community. The events included a performance by "Sage City Six", a dixieland band. The picture at right shows them playing on the porch of the mansion.

Another highlight of the day was the 3/4 combo class' dramatization of vignettes from the lives of the Park and McCullough families. The play was based on information from Eliza Hall Park McCullough's own book "Within One's Memory".

The fifth graders did a terrific job acting as tour guides for the mansion. One or two students were stationed in each room to share data tidbits with vistors. For example, the Southeast Parlor,also known as the Music Room, was used for afternoon tea and visiting. The ladies did not remove their wraps, as visits lasted no more than twenty minutes, and earlier arrivals were expected to depart as new callers arrived.

The Park-McCullough House is open daily from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. late May - late October. Guided tours are on the hour from 10 - 3. Admission is charged, and there is a gift shop on the premises. Please make plans to visit us soon.
