Stop by and take a look—Bennington history is now on display in downtown from the Bennington Museum.

Charles Dewey made a 3 pounder replica cannon and carriage for the museum in 2018. It's been on display in our Battle of Bennington exhibit ever since with one of the original cannon captured at the Battle by Patriot forces.
