Bennington County, Vermont

Bennington Location Map Vermont

Bennington County is in the southwest corner of Vermont, bordering New York and Massachusets. It’s a place steeped in Revolutionary War history. The Bennington Battle Monument stands tall, a 306-foot stone obelisk impossible to miss.

But there’s more than just history here. Vast stretches of the Green Mountain National Forest cover the eastern part of the county. Manchester, with its outlet stores, draws shoppers from far and wide.

Covered bridges span bubbling brooks, perfect for postcards. Marble quarries recall the area’s industrial past. Hiking trails crisscross the landscape. Fall foliage here? Breathtaking. Ski resorts come alive when snow blankets the hills. It’s Vermont in miniature, really.
