The North Bennington Railroad Station was constructed in 1880 replacing an earlier wood frame station located on the same site. For over half a century,the depot served as the gateway to the village. Beginning in the 1930's with the gradual decline in the Rutland Railroad's passenger service,the structure fell in disrepair. In 1971, Ethel (Babe) Scott Mc]ullough and here husband William R. Scott sponsored restoration of the building. It's been in use as the village seat of government since that time.In 1996 the, the village obtained an enhancement grant from the Department of Transportation to again restore the building to Mr. and Mrs. Scott's vision |
