There are always new and exciting exhibitions at the Bennington Museum.
Explore the artistic and commercial sides of gravestone carving, particularly as they were practiced in Bennington County between 1775 and 1850. On display will be the gravestone for Rev. Jedidiah Dewey, archival records documenting the gravestone carving business of Arlington's Rule family, and more.
February 2 through 28
The Student Art Show brings artwork of the region's elementary, middle, and high school students to the museum in a display ranging from whimsical projects by the young students to more advanced work of older students.
Peek under the skirt and look at the number and variety of layers required by Bennington's fashionable females 100 years ago. Historic samples from the Museum's collection include homemade petticoats and chemise, professionally constructed corsets and hoop skirts, as well as commercially manufactured knit union suits and undershirts from Bennington's own underwear mills.
