Bennington sits in a cozy corner of Southern Vermont<\/a>. It was once the headquarters of the Green Mountain Boys, a militia who successfully resisted New York\u2019s territorial claim and kept Vermont intact.<\/p>\r\n

This spunky rebel spirit can be seen today in the vibrant downtown; urban redevelopment thrives with the help of a community that\u2019s committed to frequenting Mom-and-Pop businesses. With very few chain stores and even fewer empty storefronts, Bennington bucks cookie-cutter trends and proudly embraces its independent steak. The Battle of Bennington was a tide-turning moment in the American Revolution, so there\u2019s history here to accompany the crisp mountain air. Get ready for an all-season, car-free weekend getaway to Bennington.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
