Park McCullough House Association Inc Name Change
At its April meeting the association voted to rename the group Park McCullough House Association Inc after years of debate. The Big House, built in 1965, has carried many names from Park’s Fally to Gov McCullough Mansion as it reflects a century of family life and regional links to Montpelier and New York City. The change aims to clarify the site’s role as a historic house rather than a governor’s mansion.
