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.

Bennington College Propaganda Film (1951)
This film was commissioned by the US State Department in 1951 to tell Germany and the rest of the world something about a system of education which not only gave knowledge and facts but something else to its students, gave them strength and ability to face their problems themselves and a realization that they could have an active voice in governing themselves.
The prime example of this system, at least for the purpose of the film, would be Bennington College, the progressive higher educational institution started in the 1930s by followers of John Dewey.
Writing about the film two years after its release, Allegra Fuller Snyder '51 (also quoted above) would note that the film was to tell of a system in which the individual was important—all important. This is a point of view not taken in most European colleges... The result of [the European] education is that people who have learned to follow unquestioningly (or have only questioned to themselves but never acted) forget that they as individuals can stand alone and exert their own force... The approach makes monarchies and republics instead of democracies, and is one of the reasons why these people are willing to be led into Nazism or Communism.

Bennington Triangle / Glastenbury, VT - Documentary (Part 1 of 2)
Short documentary I made a few years ago when I was taking a documentary course in college. Its 20 minutes long split up into two parts on youtube. Its not really finished, I thought I was going to spend the time to re cut some of it but its been sitting on my hard drive for so long and I probably won't ever re cut the film. So I figured I would post in its current state. The editing needs to be paced better and I probably should have conducted some more interviews. When researching the Paula Welden case I found out she has two or three sisters and one who is supposedly still alive, I tried to track her down online to see if I could get an interview but couldn't really find anything. If anyone in fact knows hows to get in touch with current family members let me know and I would probably still be interested in going out to do the interview and posting it on here.
