In 1989, this oddly-shaped rock or chair was dedicated to Zen Campbell in honor of her work as the founder and long-time director of the Kindleberger Festival. Long known to local residents as a wishing chair, the Director's Chair was also considered to be a "lucky place" to sit down and make a wish.
As you continue past the Director's Chair, look up toward Park Street, where you can see the former homes of several KVP officials. In Parchment's early years, Mr. Kindleberger and almost all other company executives lived in the community and participated in its development.
