Bennington is a town in Bennington County, Vermont, in the United States. It is one of two shire towns (county seats) of the county, the other being Manchester.[4][5] The population is 15,431, as of 2014 US Census estimates.[6] Bennington is the most populous town in southern Vermont, the third-largest town in Vermont (after Essex and Colchester) and the sixth-largest municipality in the state including the cities of Burlington, Rutland, and South Burlington in the count.
The town is home to the Bennington Battle Monument, which is the tallest human-made structure in the state of Vermont. The town has ready access to natural resources and waterpower, and a long history of manufacturing, primarily within wood processing. The town is also recognized nationally for its pottery, iron, and textiles.
Battle of Bennington
The town is known in particular for the Battle of Bennington, which took place during the Revolutionary War. Although the battle took place approximately 12 miles (19 km) to the west in what is now the state of New York, an ammunition storage building located in Bennington was an important strategic target. On August 16, 1777, Gen. John Stark's 1,500-strong New Hampshire Militia defeated 800 German (Hessian) mercenaries, local Loyalists, Canadians and Indians under the command of German Lt. Col. Friedrich Baum. German reinforcements under the command of Lt. Col. Heinrich von Breymann looked set to reverse the outcome, but were prevented by the arrival of Seth Warner's Green Mountain Boys, the Vermont militia founded by Ethan Allen.
In 1891, the Bennington Battle Monument was opened. The monument is a 306-foot-high (93 m) stone obelisk that is the tallest human-made structure in Vermont. It is a popular tourist attraction.

C-172M landing at Morse State / Bennington (KDDH) Vermont in gusty conditions
One of the club's Skyhawks was 'stranded' at this airport due to mechanical difficulties. I flew the mechanic/pilot(s) plus spare parts, tools, spare battery + heater unit to see if we could effect repairs and perform a 'rescue' before the snowstorm hit the region on Monday. Just below gross with sustained sfc. winds of 20kts gusting to 35kts and winds aloft, from the north, at 50kts, made this seem like an episode from 'Flying Wild Alaska'.
I'm glad to say that, despite the bitter cold and vicious winds, our ace mechanic (Hi Mike!), was able to get her running.
On the way back, we flew in close formation which made for some stunning pix and video (see other clip!)
