2018 Map of Bennington

About this map

Old Bennington and the surrounding valley floor serve as a historic hub where the Walloomsac River meets the Roaring Branch Walloomsac Brook. This landscape is defined by its deep architectural and educational roots, featuring the campus of Bennington College and several preserved landmarks of early Vermont infrastructure, including the Paper Mill Village Bridge and the Silk Road Covered Bridge. To the north, the terrain transitions into the protected slopes of the Green Mountain National Forest, while the valley settlements of North Bennington and South Shaftsbury are connected by a network of colonial-era routes like Paran Rd and Harwood Hill Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented here, from the Bennington Center - Old First Church Cem to smaller family plots such as the Rice A Winslow Farm Cem.
