SUMMARY:Old Bennington and the Continental Storehouse
DESCRIPTION:a Bennington Historical Society presentation \nIn 1777\, British General John Burgoyne sent troops toward Bennington to capture supplies held in a Continental storehouse\, setting the stage for the Battle of Bennington.. In this presentation\, historian Bob Hoar will explore the two most important men behind gathering those supplies: original Bennington settler\, church deacon\, and revolutionary Republican\, John Fassett; and Hamilton Federalist and future governor\, Isaac Tichenor. Bob will also discuss the buildings that were used as storehouses and what became of them after the Battle of Bennington\, as well as the history of the State Arms house – the Vermont Republic’s storehouse during the turbulent 1780s. \nBob Hoar is a local historian who has embraced the complex stories of Colonial history.

SUMMARY:The Story of Hiram Bingham
DESCRIPTION:a Bennington Historical Society presentation \nThe remarkable story of the Binghams starts with Hiram Bingham who farmed on the future site of Bennington College in the early 1800s. He and his descendants impacted people and nations around the world. Bingham\, and his son\, grandson\, and great-grandson\, influenced the modern history of Hawaii and other Pacific islands\, the discovery of Machu Picchu in Peru\, politics in Connecticut\, the escape of 2\,500 Jews from Nazi-occupied France\, and a U.S. postage stamp. \nRev. Glen Bayly became interested in the Binghams during the 1990s\, when he was the pastor of the Mission Alliance Church in Bennington. When a missionary from the church came back from Honolulu with a photograph of a plaque honoring Hiram Bingham of Bennington\, Vermont\, Glen’s curiosity was piqued and his research began. Glen served 40 years of ministry as a pastor with the Christian and Missionary Alliance\, was a campus minister at Penn State University for 7 years\, and hosted a syndicated radio program\, ‘The Lions’ Den University Report’ for 22 years. He and his wife\, Darlene\, have lived in Central Pennsylvania for the past 25 years. \nsupported by

SUMMARY:Artillery at the Battle of Bennington
DESCRIPTION:a Bennington Historical Society presentation \nCannons played a small but notable role in the seminal August 16\, 1777 Battle of Bennington. Made in England\, the guns and their carriages constituted top-of-the-line military technology for the time. The men who manned\, loaded\, and fired the pieces were German subsidiary troops hired by the British government to supplement its war effort. Paned by Thomas Jefferson’s propagandistic pen as foreign “mercenaries\,” these Hessians were\, come to find out\, no such thing. In this program\, Eric Schnitzer will examine how the cannons were employed in battle and investigate the material culture of the cannon barrels\, carriages\, and the projectiles they shot. He will also explore the backgrounds and some of the stories of the officers and soldiers from Hessen-Hanau who operated these artillery pieces in both phases of the famed battle. \nEric Schnitzer has worked at Saratoga National Historical Park since 1997\, becoming Park Ranger/Historian in 2000. Author of Don Troiani’s Campaign to Saratoga – 1777\, he has dedicated his life’s study to the organization\, personnel\, and material culture of the military forces associated with the Northern Campaign of 1777. He and his wife\, Jenna\, live in an 18th -century house in the White Creek Historic District near Bennington Battlefield State Historic Site\, N.Y. \nsupported by

SUMMARY:Bridges of Bennington County
DESCRIPTION:a Bennington Historical Society presentation \nVermont is home to the third highest number of covered bridges in the United States\, after Pennsylvania and Ohio. If you look at the number per square mile\, Vermont ranks number one. There are five of them right here in Bennington County – three in Bennington alone! These bridges are part of Vermont’s identity\, captured in paintings\, the subject of ghost stories\, and part of many of our daily commutes. In this presentation\, local researchers will share what they know about our county’s beautiful and historic covered bridges. \nAvis Hayden lives in Sunderland\, on property that adjoins the Chiselville Covered Bridge. She has a curiosity about local history\, spurred on by her genealogical research involving Vermont residents. She holds a Certificate from Boston University in Genealogy. She volunteers at Bennington Museum’s Regional History Room and assists with projects at the Russell Collection (Arlington/Sunderland/Sandgate).   \nDavid Pilachowski has lived in Bennington for 25 years\, worked in college and university libraries\, and has long been interested in history. He volunteers in Bennington Museum’s Regional History Room (RHR) and is a Museum Trustee. He was one of several people involved for the past several years in reorganizing and cataloging the RHR collection. Through that work\, he became aware of Professor Louis Puffer’s remarkable collection of covered bridge materials and associated resources donated to the RHR. \nsupported by
