Bennington Battle Monument, The Real Story

Video 39 of our Series, Around the USA in 90 Days!

Wow, let’s learn about Bennington Battle Monument and the real stories of Patriot Colonel John Stark and British General John Burgoyne. Bennington and Saratoga might be a best kept secret if they didn’t have the prominent obelisks towering over the skyline.
