"Bennington: A Tapestry of History and Heritage" Step into the rich tapestry of Bennington, where echoes from the past intertwine with the present. From an 18th-century New England gravestone, worn by time yet still bearing witness to the sacrifice of an American soldier at the Battle in 1777, to Brigadier General John Stark's commanding presence as he led victorious American forces in that very battle. Travel across continents and oceans to Saltwood, Kent, where another Bennington resides. A place steeped in its own history and charm. But it is Vermont's Bennington that truly captures our imagination - a land adorned with autumnal hues surrounding The Bennington Monument, standing tall as a testament to the Revolutionary War battle fought on these grounds. Wander through Old First Church Burying Ground, where weathered gravestones proudly display their connection to this great nation under fluttering US flags. And there it stands again - The Bennington Battle Monument - a beacon calling us back to that fateful day when brave men fought for freedom. Yet not all tales are told through battles and monuments alone. Enter Margaret Stottlemeyer's delicate creation - the exquisite Bennington Pitcher from 1936; or Howard H. Sherman's masterful workmanship displayed in his own version from 1937. These pitchers whisper stories of craftsmanship passed down through generations. But let us not forget Lyman Fenton & Co. , who crafted foot baths and warmers dating back to mid-19th century America. These practical artifacts remind us that even amidst turmoil and revolution, daily life continued with warmth and comfort. In every corner of this name lies layers upon layers of history waiting to be discovered anew – whether etched on stone or captured within artistry’s embrace – each telling its unique tale within "Bennington.
