Bennington Battle Monument

Built in the late 1880's, this monument, a 306' stone obelisk, is a dedication to the famous Battle of Bennington that took place during the Revolutionary war in 1777. It was at this location the American colonists maintained a store of weapons and food, which British General Burgoyne knew was critical to capture in order to restock his own troops.
