Bennington is a small Vermont town with a population of just 15,333, making it the second-largest in the state. The former manufacturing hub has a historic downtown, but the winters can be brutal, with heavy snowfall and nor'easters that regularly knock out power. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with the town employing an open town meeting form of government. However, Bennington is home to Bennington College and other educational institutions, offering cultural attractions for those who can brave the cold and red tape.
