Fall into History – Guided Historical Hike!

Monday, October 13, 2025 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Looking to experience Fall while learning a little bit of history? Join us for a guided hike of the 1-mile Battle Loop Trail on Monday, October 13th at 10am.

This 1.5 hour hike over moderate terrain will bring history and nature together as we discuss the Battle of Bennington and the landscape that led to this significant moment in the 1777 Saratoga Campaign. We will also explore some of the farming history that shaped this landscape after the battle and learn about the Fall foliage and scenery around us as we hike.

Meet us on the hilltop at Bennington Battlefield State Historic Site to enjoy the peak of autumn and a chance to connect the past with the natural world around us. This event is FREE & family-friendly! Dogs are allowed on trails, but please keep them leashed.
