Description

A Bennington Historical Society Special Offering

Join the Bennington Historical Society for a guided tour of Bennington’s lesser-known monuments and historical markers. The tour will be narrated by members of the Historical Society, Anne Bugbee and Bill Morgan and will include spots often overlooked by locals and tourists alike. Come and learn the stories behind how the markers came to be. Among other stops we’ll visit the locations of the first school house, the first settlers’ homes, Bennington’s old reservoir, the real “first” church, and an ancient mile marker.

The tour will begin in the parking lot of Bennington Museum (75 Main Street) promptly at 2:00 pm on Sunday, Oct. 22. There is a charge of $15.00 per person with a $5.00 discount for members of Bennington Museum to cover the cost of the bus rental.

The Bennington Historical Society is a volunteer-run program of Bennington Museum.
