The Old First Congregational Church of Bennington was founded in 1805 and was the first Protestant church in the entire state of Vermont. Before the present church it was common for community members to gather in a meeting house that was in its place, and these meetings can be traced back to 1762. Today, the modern-day church is open during various hours for guests during the year. September through June, the church opens at 11 in the morning, and between July and August it opens a bit earlier at 10 in the morning. Throughout the entire year guests can attend Sunday service if they wish to do so.
