What's Happening

Parks-Bentley reopens June 12

After remaining closed for the entire 2020 season, volunteers at Parks-Bentley Place are happy to announce that the historic house is now open on Saturdays from 1 - 4 pm.

We'll still work to keep our volunteers and visitors safe, so we will require that face masks be worn indoors and social distancing be practiced at all events and tours.

Thanks to a grant from the William Pomeroy Foundation, the Historical Society was able to purchase a new roadside marker showing the designation of Parks-Bentley Place as a building on the National Registry. A formal dedication of the new signage will be held with light refreshments to follow.
