Old Bennington, VT

Sitting on a quiet hill just west of downtown along Route 9, Old Bennington feels like stepping into a classic New England postcard. It serves as the historic heart of the community, lined with well-preserved colonial homes, mature trees, and peaceful residential lanes. The towering Bennington Battle Monument rises above the neighborhood and provides a great local landmark, complete with sweeping mountain views and a scenic open lawn for afternoon walks.

Living here blends a quiet, small-village feel with everyday convenience. The picturesque Old First Church sits right across from the village green, and its historic cemetery holds the resting place of poet Robert Frost. Residents get to enjoy a calm, tucked-away setting while remaining only a few minutes from the shops, restaurants, and grocery stores in downtown Bennington, with Route 9 making trips across the New York border or into the Green Mountains very easy.
