The 250th is Coming! A look at Bennington's past -- and upcoming -- historical commemorations

Bennington is a town with a proud Revolutionary-era history, and it has also been a center for patriotic commemoration since Revolutionary times: from the commemoration of the first anniversary of the Battle of Bennington in 1778 to the dedication of the Bennington Battle Monument in 1891 to the annual parades organized by the Bennington Fire Department since 1963. The commemorations held almost a century ago are also worth mentioning: 100,000 people came to Bennington to celebrate over the course of one week in August 1927. The 2020 commemoration, held during the pandemic, stands out as a recent example of the importance of historical memory to our lives in the present, and of the determ...
