Bennington, Vermont

Last week we crossed the borders and toured the lake region of NH. At 4:45 on thursday afternoon, we shot up route 7 from Williamstown, Mass to visit Bennington VT. Bennington is hosting the moose fest this month. The town was quiet since it's main industry has retired to summer recess. A few college students walked the streets; some tourists were gawking at window displays - not much was stirring on this thursday afternoon - making it all the more pleasant to look at classical architectural details - hand drawn - a century ago. That brick fenestration was build by hand in 1868. Pure charm.














Bennington thrives based on a successful economic driver: higher education.
