Battle Day in Bennington Quiet Compared to 1777 Victory
Bennington Battle Day activities merge with year round events marking August 16 1777 when General Stark led Yankee forces to defeat Bur goyne's British units. Banks and offices close while Greater Bennington Association keeps tourism open. The Bennington Battle Monument displays new flag poles and a replica of the 1776 flag alongside exhibits at the Bennington Museum. The Jaycees plan a queen contest with a New York trip prize and family day at the airport featuring rides and fireworks, though full parade festivities were canceled due to limited sponsorship.
