This former Bennington Tavern was where Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys planned the capture of Fort Ticonderoga. John Stark planned British General Burgoyne's defeat here, eventually leading to the Battle of Bennington. It was the site of the public hanging of Loyalist David Redding, arrested for horse theft. The tavern was the meeting place of Vermont's earliest form of government then; the Vermont Council of Safety.
