Venue Description

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 time the museum acquired paintings and sculpture by Vermont artists, children's toys, maps, books, and military artifacts. We are proud of our extensive array of American glass from the 19th to the early 20th century, vintage portraits of early settlers by Ammi Phillips; our unique Ralph Earl townscape; examples of abolitionist newspapers by William Lloyd Garrison; a Windsor writing-arm chair owned by Ira Allen, a founder of Vermont and author of the State's constitution; and the world's largest collection of Bennington pottery. The elegant new wing of the Bennington Museum is now available for private rental for corporate meetings, workshops or dinners. Comprised of the Ada Paresky Education Center and the Paul Paresky Museum Court, the space features open-beam cathedral ceilings, natural wood floors and the original exterior stone walls of the old museum.
