History

The dinner bell traditionally called farmers in from the fields at mealtime, and it was also rung during emergencies or to celebrate special events. Thaddeus T. Bussard and his family used this bell from the early 1900s until his son, Harry Bussard, removed it when the property was sold in the late 1960s to M-NCPPC Montgomery Parks. Edith Bussard Cross and Mabel Bussard Cook, both born and raised in this house, donated the bell to the Agricultural Farm Park.
