The flood, Vermont’s deadliest then, killed 84 statewide and caused about 25 million dollars in damage. Officials warned that future floods could alter development patterns. Local postmen kept mail moving despite outages and water safety concerns remained.
A local note invites readers to share photographs of Bennington during the 1927 flood or its aftermath. The newsroom will consider printing any contributed images in The Banner, aiming to supplement a history published soon after the disaster that omits Bennington.
