New England - Vermont

Grandma Moses Schoolhouse

A Karen Brown Recommendation

Leaving Williamstown, cross into Vermont and continue on to Old Bennington, a charming village dating back to the 18^th century and steeped in Colonial history, which lies 9 miles to the west of the commercial town of Bennington on Route 9. Allow time for the walking tour (maps available at the Chamber of Commerce) including the Old First Church, the Bennington Battle Monument, and the Grandma Moses Schoolhouse, where you can see several paintings of the well-known artist who started painting at the age of 70 and continued painting until she was 101. As a fan of folk art, I find that the primitive-style paintings of Grandma Moses with their naïve renderings of farm and country life (particularly those in winter) to be extraordinarily charming
