Bennington, VT

Approaching this charming Vermont town we decided to investigate a remarkable monument near the center of town. Hundreds of feet tall it was quite a spectacle and had peaked our interest.

A closer look revealed to us something quite surprising. This monument honored a Brigadier General John Stark, a distant relative to Dawnie and her family!

Here for you to see are photos of this impressive monument along with the statue of General Stark and a little history to boot.
