On-Site Programs
Tours of Parks-Bentley Place
Available Saturdays from April through early October, tours of the house and grounds can include any or all of the exhibit areas including:
-
the main house (with areas dating from between the 1760s and 1840s), plus a summer kitchen
-
A Simpler Time – an early technology exhibit featuring antique and vintage tools and machinery
-
the One-Room School House
-
the Underground Railroad hiding place, and
-
the loft
Tours of specific areas of the property provide an in-depth history and are available upon request.
Parks-Bentley Place will not open this summer so that we can do our part to keep our visitors and volunteers safe from the potential spread of Corona virus.
We will update our site as soon
as we open again.
