We hope this web site offers the residents of Bennington useful and pertinent information about various events (the "calendar"); transfer station hours; what can be recycled; town clerk services; assessor services; who the various board members are and even weather information.

Out of town visitors to our site are able to learn something about us from the Town History page; our photo album and where we are located.

Besides the beautiful scenery, Bennington offers Golf, Bowling, camping, hiking, horse back riding, fishing and hunting.
