Historical Homestead in Southern Vermont ~
Nestled along the Green Mountains of Southern Vermont sits the historical Henry House. This charming 254 year old home is located in North Bennington, Vermont and overlooks the authentic red covered Henry Bridge, making for a perfect location for weddings, events and getaways. The Henry House is a one-of-a-kind historical homestead right here in Southern Vermont. Due to its location in the southernmost portion of Vermont, it’s geographically closer to the capital cities of Albany, Hartford, and Concord than it is to its own state capital, Montpelier, allowing for visitors to travel stress-free from surrounding states of NY, MA, NH and CT.
The Henry House is a part of Vermont’s history dating back to the Revolutionary War when the town of Bennington fought for its independence in what is now known as the Battle of Bennington. A Revolutionary War hero and participant in the Battle of Bennington, Lt. William Henry, resided in The Henry House in 1769, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Offering a unique combination of colonial and cozy Vermont decor, the house’s open front porch views the picturesque Green Mountains. The original charm of this landmark home is retained for your pleasure to stay, relax and enjoy.
