Volunteer in Friends of Benson Park

to develop and maintain the “Benson’s Museum & Discovery Center” in Hudson, NH, as a premier destination that honors the history of “Benson’s Wild Animal Farm” and fosters a love of nature and learning. We are dedicated to preserving the park’s rich heritage, providing educational and interactive experiences, and engaging the community through diverse programs and exhibits.

Founded in 2012, Friends of Benson Park is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to celebrating the unique history of Benson’s Wild Animal Farm and ensuring its legacy endures. Our dedicated Board of Directors and volunteers work tirelessly to preserve the park’s past while creating a vibrant space for the community to explore, learn, and connect. At the heart of our efforts is the creation of the “Benson’s Museum & Discovery Center,” housed in the historic Elephant Barn, which will serve as both a tribute to the park’s storied history and an engaging educational resource for all ages.
