Take a tour of the Bennington Centre Cemetery with Bennington Museum curator, Jamie Franklin.
Have you ever wondered what stories lie in the cemetery behind the Old First Church? This guided tour starts in the Museum’s Early Vermont gallery, where you’ll see the headstone for Jedidiah Dewey, Bennington’s first pastor, carved by Frederick Manning, and learn about the earliest gravestones carved in Bennington. The tour continues in the Bennington Centre Cemetery, where Jamie will share the stories of some of the people buried there and introduce you to the works of some of the region’s early headstone carvers.
Wear good walking shoes and be prepared for some uphill walking and uneven terrain. We recommend bringing water to drink and applying sunscreen and bug spray.
Tickets are $20 for Bennington Museum members, $27 for Not-Yet-Members and available for purchase at https://benningtonmuseum.org/event/2025cemetery-tour/
