LAST OF THE
7 TAVERNS
A Landmark That Will Soon Pay
the Debt of Time.

One of the interesting relics of the
early days of Bennington, and one
which has nearly dropped out of the
minds of most of the older residents
Of the town, is what is known as the
old Harmon tavern in the northwest
part of the town on the farm and near
the residence of the late William
Baker. AS near as can be learned it
was erected about the year 1865 AMI is
the last one of the seven taverns that
lourished in Bennington before and
after the revolution.
The old hostelry was run during the
Revolution by Capt Daniel Harmon.
There is tradition that Gen John
Stark took breakfast there while on
his way to the battle of Bennington. 1t
is the only building in Bennington
and possibly in Vermont erected be-
fore the Revolution that has uRder-
gone 10 change whatever in external
appearance. 1t has been 100 years or
more since the building was used for
hotel purposes. For some years it
has been used mainly for the storage
of old truck. The bu ilding is large
two and -a-half-story structure, and is
quite typical of the hotels or taverns
of early times.
The old building does not look as if
1t would stand the storms of many
wintars

ALL BUT AN ACCIDENT
Col Harmon Narrowly Avoids Runaway
This Morning.

NoI nahnoh Narrowly AVoloS Runaway
This Morning.
Col. Thomas Harmon Of the Soldiers
home came near having quite serious
accident this morning. The horse tha9
he drives is afraid of the electric cars,
and as a general thing the motermen
slow down when they meet him. A
car went up Main street this morning,
and although the horse began its usual
manoeuvers the car continued on its
way regardless of time or place.
Thecolonel finally subdued the horse
but not until the wheels of his wagon
had been within an inch of the car and
for once he thought that he had rather
be under a good rattling volley OF
musketry, than an electric car, How
ever miss is as good as a mile.
