Main Street Antiques — Local services in Bennington

This is an amazing place to stop by on Main Street in Bennington! I got a gift for my boyfriend here (a leather hip/belt bag that soldiers used to wear in battle to carry ammunition, repurposed as a pouch for his phone and wallet) and he loved it!
