The Bennington Museum is a dynamic cultural and historical institution located in Bennington, Vermont, dedicated to showcasing the rich heritage and creative spirit of the region. Established in 1928 in a repurposed 1855 stone church and expanded over the decades, its permanent collections span American and regional art, decorative objects, Revolutionary War artifacts, and an exceptional archive of local history. Highlights include the world’s largest public display of Grandma Moses paintings, a diverse Gilded Age gallery featuring fine art and modernist works, historic Bennington pottery and stoneware, a Revolutionary War military gallery centered on the Battle of Bennington, and treasured textile holdings, such as the Jane Stickle Quilt and historic flags. A research library and Regional History Room further support genealogical and scholarly inquiry.

For day visitors, the Bennington Museum offers a rich and varied experience suitable for families, history buffs, and art enthusiasts. Guests can explore permanent galleries and rotating exhibitions, stroll along the outdoor George Aiken Wildflower Trail, and enjoy seasonal events, such as “Museum ABCs” on Saturdays, featuring interactive art sessions and storytelling. A museum shop offers regional crafts and exhibition-themed items, and the beautifully maintained campus, perched on a hill, provides an inviting backdrop for self-guided walks on the grounds. Whether delving into Grandma Moses’s rural landscapes, uncovering local wartime history, or simply enjoying a peaceful visit, the museum offers culturally enriching experiences for all.
