A monument to mark a key battle in the American Revolution, the Bennington Battle Monument is one of a series of huge stone obelisks in the Northeast. In this case, the 1777 Battle of Bennington was fought not at this site, but about five miles away in Hoosick Falls, New York. The pylon marks the location where revolutionary soldiers kept a stockpile of weapons and supplies that were badly needed by the British forces. The losing fight to get that cache is the reason this monument stands today. The British thought if they could capture Bennington and its stores that New York State could be captured.

• In front of the main monument is a smaller monument to Colonel Seth Warner, a member of the Green Mountain Boys who fought at the Battle of Bennington.
• 1889 - The monument is completed.
