Historic Park McCullough House

Park-McCullough Historic Governor's Mansion is a 35-room Second Empire mansion in North Bennington, Vermont, built between 1864 and 1865 for attorney and entrepreneur Trenor W. Park. The home was later expanded and renovated in 1889-1890 by Park's daughter Eliza and her husband John G. McCullough to host President Benjamin Harrison's 1891 visit for the Bennington Monument dedication. Direct descendants lived in the house for a century until 1965, when it passed to the Park-McCullough House Association, and it is now recognized as one of New England's finest and best-preserved Victorian mansions. The property offers four main event spaces for weddings and private events: the historic mansion itself, formal manicured gardens, a wrap-around veranda for cocktails and touring, and a newly renovated Carriage Barn with a full catering kitchen, restrooms, a hardwood dance floor, heat, air conditioning, and wi-fi. The mansion and grounds host weddings, rehearsal dinners, corporate retreats, nonprofit fundraisers, and celebrations of all kinds throughout the year. No vendor fees are charged, though food must come from a licensed restaurant or caterer and alcohol from a Vermont-licensed vendor.
