This past weekend having been Bennington Day weekend, we decided to make the trip down to Bennington itself since they supposedly had events, including a reenactment encampment. Honestly tho, if you live more than two hours away from Bennington, it's probably not super worth it for a day trip. The events are too spread out across the long weekend and geographically across the town. Maybe if we were staycationing for the weekend and had time to hop into the art galleries and shops, it would be fine... but if we had the chance for a weekend getaway I think we'd be way more likely to go to upstate NY.

More blather plus pics under the cut.

I also love how basically no one we know who has moved here in the last ten years has the first goddamn clue what Bennington Day even is. TL;DR for all of its... dealings... during the AWI, the state that is now Vermont really has only one claim to an American War of Independence battle, the Battle of Bennington--and it's a pretty tenuous one since the armies actually clashed just over the state lines in New York. But Vermont is absolutely! not! going! to let New York have this one. Good to know that the beef between NY and the frontier farmers of the New Hampshire Grants is still alive and well...

Good thing we went to the Cheese Festival last year, because this year there was no cheese festival. I'm assuming the floods had something to do with that.

The Bennington Battle Monument. Jesus, everyone here is REALLY into obelisks. I guess when you have stone quarries right nearby, it's just too tempting. Once again, though... this is not at the actual battlefield. LOL In its favor, however, it is built at the top of a hill that contains other historic sites of Bennington, including the original site of the tavern where Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys planned the capture of Fort Ti. Which isn't there anymore because somebody's bougie mansion is sitting on its foundations instead. But there's a giant mountain lion statue right there to let you know where it would have been.

The Moodus Fife & Drum Corps. You can't quite make it out in the compressed-to-heck photo here, but one of the US flags they're carrying is circa 1850s or 1860s. Do they do ACW events as well?

The AWI encampment at the top of the hill was very small and really more of a "some dudes wanted to get dressed up and go camping" kinda deal, which is... fine? But like... it was hard to think of anything to ask them when it was just like, well, clearly you're just here to vibe. IDK.

It’s #thinksmallparks week over on @hellorangerusa with @nationalparkgeek! Those of you who know me, know I LOVE smaller parks! ⠀⠀ ⠀ “For thousands of years the ancient trail that connects the Mohawk River and Wood Creek served as a vital link for people traveling between the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Ontario. Travelers used this well-worn route through Oneida Indian territory to carry trade goods and news, as well as diseases, to others far away. When Europeans arrived they called this trail the Oneida Carrying Place and inaugurated a significant period in American history--a period when nations fought for control of not only the Oneida Carrying Place, but the Mohawk Valley, the homelands of the Six Nations Confederacy, and the rich resources of North America as well. In this struggle Fort Stanwix would play a vital role.⠀ ⠀ Known as "the fort that never surrendered," Fort Stanwix, under the command of Col. Peter Gansevoort, successfully repelled a prolonged siege, in August 1777, by British, German, Loyalist, Canadian, and American Indian troops and warriors commanded by British Gen. Barry St. Leger.
