After attending Sacrament Meeting with the Pittsfield Saints we journied north from western Mass on Route 7 into southern Vermont's beautiful Green Mountain region. As we drove through Bennington, Vermont we noticed this very large and impressive stone monument on a hill off to the west of the highway. It took us a little while to locate the right roadway, but it was surely worth it. This is a most fantastic piece of work. It was contructed to pay honor to the soldiers of Vermont and New Hampshire who successfully prevailed against the British in the famous battle of Bennigton during the Revolutionary War. It stands over 380 feet tall, made of massive blocks of Vermont granite.
