Trenor Park and John G. McCullough both used this room, now referred to as the governor’s parlor, to entertain dignitaries, including a visit from U.S. president Benjamin Harrison in 1891.
For people who love historic mansions as well as the state of Vermont and its history, it doesn’t get any better than the Park-McCullough House in North Bennington.
A Victorian mansion built in 1865 by Trenor L. Park, the Park-McCullough House represents more than 200 years of Vermont history, beginning with future governor Hiland Hall, whose parents moved onto the land in the 1770s, to John G. McCullough II, the man who in 1968 donated the home to the newly formed Park-McCullough House Association.
