About North Bennington

North Bennington is a compact, walkable village just north of downtown Bennington. With around 1,700 residents, it has its own distinct identity shaped by historic Victorian homes, the winding Walloomsac River, and the creative influence of Bennington College right next door. The standout landmark is the historic Park-McCullough estate, a grand Victorian property surrounded by community-managed grounds and popular walking trails through the woods.
