The Bennington Museum will present Founding Documents – Commemorating the Settlement of Bennington open January 30 – May 30, 2011.
Founding Documents is an exhibit that commemorates the 250th anniversary of the settlement of Bennington. Archival documents from the museum’s collection relevant to the settlement and early decades of life in Bennington will be on view. The exhibit covers the history of the town from the late 18th century to the early 19th century.
The Bennington Museum was founded as the Bennington Historical Association in 1852 to celebrate Bennington’s Colonial past and, more specifically, to commemorate the historic Revolutionary War Battle of Bennington in 1777. Over the years our mission has expanded to preserve and interpret the rich heritage of southern Vermont and neighboring regions as well as providing a venue for visual and performing arts that enriches our community and our world.
