"I have only lived in Pownal for 5 months and I love it! I grew up right over the state line in Williamstown, MA. I have many friends who live in Pownal/Bennington, and I used to be a nanny for a family who lived just a short walk from the old Dog Race Track. The mountains are absolutely beautiful (all year round), and the back roads guide you through beautiful scenery. It's a wonderful place to live if you have a passion for nature, and simple country living. Highly recommend - ⭐ 8/10"
