EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Bennington, Vt. 1887,' offers a glimpse into the past of the picturesque town of Bennington, Vermont. Taken in February 1888, the image showcases the western part of the town, with Randolph Street running through the heart of the scene. The snow-covered landscape is dotted with quaint wooden houses, their chimneys puffing out plumes of smoke against the clear blue sky. The photograph captures the peaceful charm of Bennington during the late 19th century. Horse-drawn carriages and wagons are visible on the snow-packed streets, while people in heavy coats and hats go about their daily business. The town's iconic church steeple, with its tall, elegant spire, dominates the skyline, standing as a testament to the community's rich history and religious heritage. The photograph also reveals the natural beauty of the area, with the green hills and trees surrounding the town providing a picturesque backdrop. The serene scene is further enhanced by the soft, even light that bathes the town, creating a sense of tranquility and harmony. Bennington, located in southwestern Vermont, has a rich history dating back to the late 1700s. It was named after General John Bennington, who played a significant role in the Revolutionary War. The town's strategic location along the Old Bennington Road made it an important trading center, and it continued to thrive as a commercial hub throughout the 19th century. This photograph, with its intriguing glimpse into the past, invites us to imagine the daily life of the people of Bennington during this time. It is a reminder of the beauty and charm of a bygone era and the enduring allure of small-town America.
