What's Happening
The Historical Society of Moreau and South Glens Falls brings back its annual exhibition of nativity sets from around the world, starting November 30th at Parks-Bentley Place.
Each of the downstairs rooms of the historic house will hold creches based on a unique type or piece of holiday music. There will even be a display of nativities highlighting some of the more humorous of holiday tunes.
Admission is $7 per adult, with children under 12 years of age admitted free with adult. Dates and time for the event are listed above, but groups of 10 or more can arrange for a private showing during the weeks of the event. There is a fee of $5 per adult in the group (minimum fee of $50).
Funds raised will go toward programs and building renovations at the historic Ferry Boulevard house that serves as the Society’s headquarters. Of the three oldest buildings in South Glens Falls, Parks-Bentley is the only one open to the public.

Just recently, Parks-Bentley received two donations from local individuals which enhance the Historical Society's current collection of antique items relating to children.
The first is a lovely wooden truck, just perfect sized for young hands. This wonderful pull-toy was donated by Huguette Delvaux.
In addition, area residents Dave and Lorraine Powers donated a beautiful, handmade cradle which becomes part of Parks-Bentley's collection of locally made furniture.
