It was a great place to visit! Loved the views from up in the monument! The guide was very informative, we really learned a lot about the Battle and the history of the monument itself. Worth checking out if you are in the area!

I enjoyed the view from the top of the monument! It is very worth the small admission fee they charge. I didn't get to see the other monuments on the grounds but had heard that they were there. The area surrounding the monument is like a park and would be a nice place to have a picnic, throw the frisbee,... More

We loved the views from the top! Worth the small admission fee. The other monuments on the grounds were interesting. The ground are park-like and would be a nice place for a sunny picnic.

You can take an elevator 20 stories to the top of the monument and see 3 states. The views are great and the monument is close to some covered bridges.

I read about how tall and impressive this monument is but nothing compares to seeing it first from the highway, then up close! We weren't there when leaves were turning colors, which I'm sure is a beautiful sight, there weren't even leaves on the trees, but Bennington was lovely. We spotted the Battle Monument from the highway and made our... More

This stop took about an hour, maybe 1.5. It was an overcast day when we visited, so not many leaf peepers were out (good for us!). This was an interesting place to visit; it even kept our 4 year-old’s attention. I really didn't expect very much from a single monument in a small town, but I was pleasantly surprised. Take... More

Bennington being so very tiny, there isn't a whole lot to see here. The Battle Monument is something to see. It's kind of like the Washington monument in D.C. in appearance. It's in a very residential area with people's house's located directly on the little ring road that goes around the monument. I didn't bother to go to the top... More

It only takes a minute to drive around this monument. It is in a very quiet residential area. The monument can be seen from several places in town and a better photo op is coming in from the north on the highway - you have the hills and tree tops as well as the bulk of the monument. A bit... More

There is a statue of Captain Stark at the backside of the monument, make sure you read the text there. The Captain's quote is really great!
