Bennington Museum

The Bennington Museum was originally opened in 1928. The museum was built around the original St. Francis de Sales church, which now houses the Church Gallery section of the museum. The Museum has many wonderful collections on exhibition including a collection of pottery manufactured in Bennington between the years of 1793 and 1894.

Grandma Moses Schoolhouse

The Bennington Museum is also home to the Grandma Moses Schoolhouse, which was moved to this sight from its original location in Eagle Bridge, New York.
