  • working in the historic house gardens

  • assisting with any task during our monthly work days

Special Project
needs volunteers
Transcribe letters from the 1800s & early 1900s

Volunteers are the historic house are working on a long-term project to transcribe more than 300 letters to and from family and friends of former inhabitants of the Parks-Bentley house.

​

Even though the cursive can be difficult to decipher, the process and the rewards are gratifying, to say the least.

​

We are looking for "Cursive Detectives" to help us transcribe the remaining letters.   AND... you can bring your laptop and work with our group at Parks-Bentley Place.
