Bill > HCR206

This House concurrent resolution commemorates the 160th anniversary of the Park-McCullough Historic Governor’s Mansion in Bennington, Vermont, recognizing its historical significance as a magnificent Victorian-era mansion built between 1864 and 1865. The resolution highlights its French Second Empire design, its construction for prominent attorney Trenor William Park on his father-in-law's farm, and its subsequent inheritance and renovation by Eliza Hall (Park) McCullough in anticipation of President Benjamin Harrison's visit. It also acknowledges the mansion's donation in 1968 to the Park-McCullough House Association, Inc., after a century of family residency, and the conservation of its surrounding lands by various organizations, noting that the mansion is now a restored house museum offering community programs and available for events.
