Special Notice-
Recently, BCRC noted that a few of the Village’s zoning bylaws, most notably the section on solar installations, are not consistent with current Vermont law. If you are considering a net metered, solar installation, please contact Danielle Gallen, Administrative Officer, for more information on the applicable Vermont law and our plan for working with BCRC to resolve all inconsistencies mentioned.
All agendas for upcoming meetings will be posted in two digital locations on this website instead of any physical locations.
About Us
History
Government in Bennington. The Village of Old Bennington represents the original center of Bennington. Samuel Robinson and a band of religious separatists from Connecticut and Massachusetts founded it in 1761. During the past 256 years the focus of industrial, commercial and residential development has shifted to the valley below and Old Bennington has become a small, incorporated Village within the Town of Bennington. Its character has become a historical single family residential community.
Location
Old Bennington is situated on a height of land approximately one-half mile west of the center of the Town of Bennington, which lies in the Walloomsac River valley below. Looming over the Village to the southwest is Mount Anthony. A ridge called Monument Hill elevates the northern third of the Village, but along the eastern edge of the Village the land falls sharply away in a steep slope toward the river below. The remainder of the Village is fairly level. Many large, well-spaced houses are surrounded with lawns and gardens. We still enjoy the luxury of some open land with beautiful vistas.
