Drove an hour to Vermont, but sadly the Bennington Monument elevator was out of service! I could see two nodes from ground level, and was able to connect back into the Capital District mesh.

$40,000,000 to restore the #BenningtonBattleMonument in #Vermont; $20,000,000 to tear it down. Tough choices. I love history and historical monuments, and the battle monument is fun to climb to the top of, but $40,000,000 to restore something that's only going to degrade again because of what it's built from doesn't make a lot of sense. https://vtdigger.org/2025/03/09/with-40-million-worth-of-restoration-needed-vermonters-debate-future-of-bennington-battle-monument/
With $40M worth of restoration needed, Vermonters debate future of Bennington Battle Monument

While some uphold the historic and economic value of the monument, others consider innovative replacements. The state has affirmed its focus on restoration.
