North Bennington Depot
North Bennington, Vermont
built 1880
Constructed in 1880, for almost half a century the North Bennington Depot served villagers and visitors alike until travel by passenger train began to decline and the depot fell into a state of disrepair. In the 1970s restoration of the historic depot began, including the installation of a replica clock built to replace the dilapidated original. Today the rural station stands as a link to a past deeply rooted in agriculture. Vermont's diverse agriculture-based economy includes everything from fruits and vegetables to dairy.
The state even has a statewide food system plan, the Farm to Plate Strategic Plan, which was implemented to provide economic support and access to Vermont's local farming and food sector communities. |
