Bennington Museum
The rich collections here feature military artifacts, early tools, dolls, and the Bennington Flag, one of the oldest of the Stars and Stripes in existence. Other areas of interest include early Bennington pottery, the Gilded Age in Vermont, and mid-20th-century modernist painters who worked in or near Bennington. The highlight for many visitors, though, is the largest public collection of works by Grandma Moses (1860–1961), the popular self-taught folk artist who lived and painted in the area.
