HAND-COLORED
This house has been occupied by the
Dewey family since it was built in 1765.
On its floors slept many Patriots the night
before the Bennington Battle, while the wo-
men of the household baked eighty large
loaves of bread for their consummation on
the following day of strife.
Here also gathered the females of the
colony to pray for the success of the Ameri-
can arms, and when the timid ones express-
ed fear of the Indians, it was the lady of
the house, Mrs. Mary Tilden Dewey, who
reassured them by proposing to fight off the
foe with hasty pudding and hot water.
