I remember the park and the animals back in the 80s. We just visited the park today and what a joy that was. We are wondering if the park would allow us to rent some space for a family BBQ in July.

I would like to know where the replica F-unit type train engine and cars went after they sold the Benson's park, and if it is still running anywhere or there.

Field Trip! What an exciting phrase for 4th graders to hear. From a 3 room schoolhouse in Shirley MA off on an aventure to be remembered forever.

I have a clip of an Amish man walking in the corn pasture and it looks like he is carrying a stick in one hand and possible corn in the other hand. It has your name on it and Wilton stamped in along with a copyright C. I had received it from my mother-in-law who has since passed several years... (more)
