Quote: The Bennington Museum is one of the most interesting history and art museums in New England. You can experience the history of Vermont through the many objects and works of art made and used by the early Vermont settlers. On display is a model of the Battle of Bennington, and a large collection of pottery, glass, and furniture.

The largest public collection of paintings by Granma Moses, the beloved folk artist,is here in this museum. Outside the museum is the Grandma Moses Schoolhouse which she attended as a child...moved to the museum from Eagle Bridge NY. Inside you can see many of her personal belongings.

If you have an interest in military history, you will love this place. There are historical artifacts including the famous Bennington Battle flag thought to be the oldest stars and stripes in existence...uniforms and firearms.

There is also an excellent collection of Bennington Pottery including over 4,000 pieces of Rockingham flint enamel,parian and scroddled ware produced by Bennington's United Pottery Company from 1847-1858.
