What it’s like
The place. North Bennington is a village in the southwest corner of Vermont, a small community where neighbors tend to know one another. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of snow, while July brings pleasantly warm days, and precipitation is steady through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, professional and business services, and manufacturing also employing many. Across Bennington County, the largest workplaces include Southwestern Vermont Medical Center, Mack Molding Company and Bennington College. A fair number of residents work from home, and the county has seen slightly fewer jobs over the past year.
Things to do. The Walloomsac River runs in or beside town, and the Bennington Museum and the Bennington Battlefield State Historic Site are each a short drive away. For a longer outing, the Clark Art Institute is a museum a longer drive away, and it pairs well with a day of gallery visits in the region.
