Maybe we’ve all wished for a magic carpet to take us where we want to go. Elementary students in Bennington have the next best thing, but probably never thought about taking a bus that gives them new insights and introductions to their local Bennington sights. Educators started the after school Magical Mystery Bus tour so that local historical sights in the community don’t go unnoticed, said the <Bennington Banner. The tour, which started in January, has made stops at the Bennington Museum, Bennington Center for the Arts, Park McCullough House and other community locations. Future stops include Bennington Free Library, Bennington Battle Monument, and the Robert Frost Stone House Museum. “One of the cool things about Bennington is there’s so much stuff here,” said Bob Marine, director of after school and summer programs with Southwest Vermont Supervisory Union. Third-grader Chyanne Bushee said she learned more about the process of making pottery after her tour of Bennington Potters factory.
