Museum ABC’s is a collaboration between Bennington Free Library and the Bennington Museum. The program is intended for children ages 3 to 5 and their adult companions and supports early literacy and a lifelong love of museums and learning.
Museum ABC’s is offered at no charge to participants, thanks to generous support from the A.D. Henderson Foundation, Stewart’s Shops and The Bank of Bennington.

June 17 Museum ABCs
Goats in the Museum @ 1:30 PM
There are a lot of farm animals roaming the Bennington Museum in different works of art. Are the goats in a painting? In a photograph? Or even on a wall? They might be Billy Goats Gruff! We will find them, listen to stories about them, and make a goat friend to take home to add to your animal collections.
