A 306 foot obelisk, The Bennington Battle Monument can be seen from the road a few miles away. It definitely sticks out on your way to Bennington. Once there, you'll find a nice park surrounding it, which is a good place for picnics or just relaxing. There is a gift shop near it where you can purchase tickets to take the elevator to the top to get a nice scenic view of Vermont, as well as part of New York. These views are gorgeous, and well worth the small ticket price of $3/person. During the ride up, the elevator operator will also give you a brief history of the monument and explain what you'll see from the top.
