Bennington

Located in Southern Vermont, Bennington is one of the top-rated attractions to visit in Vermont if you’re interested in learning more about the Revolutionary War. Not only did the town play a significant role during the war, but it also hosts the state’s most important monument from that time period, the Bennington Battle Monument. Towering above the town at 306 feet in the air, the Bennington Monument was constructed to commemorate the Battle of Bennington.

This critical battle, which took place in 1777, helped turn the tide in favor of American troops during the Revolutionary War. Today, the monument, which can be seen from miles away, serves as a reminder of this historical time period. Bennington is also home to several museums, including the Dollhouse and Toy Museum, and the Robert Frost Stone House Museum. Bennington Museum is home to the largest collection of Grandma Moses art in New England as well as numerous Vermont historical objects. The Dollhouse and Toy Museum has vintage toys, dolls, puppets, and marionettes, among other treasures. The Robert Frost Stone House Museum, where the poet once lived, is a popular local attraction.
