16OTH ANNIVERSARY
VT.'S FIRST CHURCH
First Congregational Church of Ben
nington to Celebrate In Decem-
ber-ModeI of Many Churches.

BENNINGTON. Oct. 23--Early in
December the First Congregational
church in this township which has the
double distinction of being the first
church built in the state of Vermont ana
the reputation of being the most beauti-
full example of colonial church architec-
ture in northern New England, VIII cele-
brate its 1G0th anniversary.
The Bennington church is famous all
over the country 1t is located on the
heights Mt the western side OF the town
shin overlooking Bennington village.
The First church was organized in
1862. during the first week OF December.
This was before the state of Vermont
had become a separate state, and while
it was a part Of New Hampshire.
In connection with its constructions,
there is an interesting legend. In the
davS when the Remington folk decided
that they must have a church there was
but one book on church architecture in
the whole then existing state district.
and this was owned by an architect in
Bennington. The local folk studied the
book and devised the church after sug-
gcstions contained i'm ID.
After the church was built it became
famous throughout the district and, soon,
other townships wanted 10 build and sent
Tn Bennington TO borrow the book. Ben
nngton informed them they would have
to come and do their studies i'm architec-
ture on the spot as the book would be
kept I'm the town.
From village and hamlet came commit
tees OF builders, carpenters, stone work
prs and window and interior finishers
They were loaned the book and met in
the church 10 read and digest it. After
their studies were done with the com
mittee used 10 assemble and discuss the
plans for their own church, deyisIug mod
lticati0HS of the design used in Renning-
ton. in order to get original results
Thus the church became the model for
3ll Nermont's church builders. Rev
Vincent Raw Booth is the present pas
tor Of the church.
