I also made the trip down to the Library today from Keene, and it was amazing. I expected to find a small display in the corner of a library, and was thrilled to find what was essentially a Benson's Museum. It was a big kick to be able to talk to Mr. Provencher and thank him both for lending the... (more)

I just left the Benson's exhibit at the Hudson Library and it was fantastic. Lots of pictures, (even a few of me) and very well displayed. I do have one question, and its a question I asked for the first time 30 years ago. I was met with blank stares then, and I was met with almost the same blank... (more)

Anyone who misses Benson's or never had a chance to go there would no doubt enjoy a visit to Southwick's Zoo in Mendon Mass.. Formerly also a "wild animal farm" it is now New England's largest zoo. This is privately owned like Benson's and although a major zoological park it includes animal shows,... (more)

Hi Charlie, If you would like to get a hold of just about anything related to Bensons, simply make your way over to the Hills Memorial Library here in Hudson. There is a temporary Benson's exhibit there until TOMORROW! So I suggest you make your way over there before it all goes away! Thanks!... (more)

I worked at Play world the very last year it was open, ran the kiddy rides, we had such a ball working there, I miss it terribly.

James H July 9, 2009 13:13:39 (EDT)

Never got to see Benson's open, but I know people who went there as children. I go there and fly RC planes in the field near where the big mound of Asbestos fill is being stored. But this is where I tricked my GF into going with me under the guise of Geocaching. I'd had a friend hide a geocache... (more)
