[Details/Reserve]
With a collection started in the 19th century, the Bennington Museum has made its home in a former Catholic church since 1923. This long-standing collection focuses on the history and culture of Vermont and the surrounding regions. Historical exhibits include 18th century furniture and decorative arts, one of the most historically significant quilts from 1863, as well as a letter written by George Washington. Traveling exhibits and rotations from the permanent collection make up the art galleries, which range from historical portraits from America's early years to more modern fare, including works by Helen Frankenthaler and Paul Feeley. The museum also holds the largest collection of works by 20th-century folk artist Grandma Moses. The Regional History Room (with limited hours), features a wealth of documents related to New England families and their genealogy. Also on the museum grounds is the George Aiken Wildflower Trail, a path showcasing many of the native plant species of the region. The museum is wheelchair accessible, and ASL or verbal description tours are available upon request. There is a museum store on site. Check the website for their hours, as sometimes there is a gallery reinstallation in progress.
