Bennington, VT 05201
The Bennington Battle Monument, a Vermont state-owned historic site, stands at an impressive 306 feet 4 and 1/2 inches tall and was completed in 1891 using blue-grey magnesium limestone. It commemorates the pivotal Battle of Bennington, which took place on August 16, 1777, and significantly contributed to the American victory at Saratoga during the Revolutionary War.
Operated by the State of Vermont and supported by the Friends of the Monument, a non-profit volunteer group, the site hosts various events throughout the year that are open to the public. The monument serves not only as a tribute to a critical moment in American history but also as a venue for community engagement and education.
