Burying Grounds of Bennington Center A History
The Old Bennington cemetery, tied to the town and its church, traces its roots to 1762. It details ownership shifts, private expansions, and later efforts by the Bennington Center Cemetery Association led by Governor McCullough and clergy to restore and endow the grounds, with Robert Frost interred in 1963.
