The Local & Co. is made up of 3 businesses, Etc. - owned by Ashley Reherman, Wild Blossom and The Local - owned by Nicole Bozeman. What started as a friendship has turned into a partnership and we could not be more excited to bring this joint  venture to Bennington.  We worked hard to create our vision of a bright and cheerful, yet relaxing space. We want both locals and visitors to have a place to shop, grab a bite to eat, have coffee with a friend, hold lunch meetings or take a few minutes to escape for a sweet treat and a little retail therapy... we hope you will visit soon!

The Morgan House is a restaurant and inn conveniently located in the heart of the Berkshires on Main Street Lee, Massachusetts. The Restaurant serves American Bistro cuisine in a cozy tavern environment. Check out our lunch and dinner menus. The Inn includes 11 lodging rooms, each with individual charm.

Stop in for a quick bite or for a full lunch or dinner. We have delicious house made desserts, too, like Bailey’s Bread Pudding, Chocolate Decadent Cake, Berry Lemoncello Tiramisu and Brownie Sundaes.

Originally a stagecoach stop, the Morgan House has provided fare and rest for travelers and locals alike, in a classic turn of the century setting since 1853. The goal of the innkeepers and culinary team is to continue the long tradition of excellence in dining and hospitality.

The Publyk House has been a destination restaurant and Bennington favorite for more
than 35 years. Originally, the old horse barn stood not more than a mile away on Rice
Lane before it was moved to its existing location. Soon after, it opened as Publyk
House restaurant in 1972 by a group of local investors who had purchased the old
three-story horse barn. The partners renovated the old barn into a restaurant to
again serve fine food to hungry travelers from Zechariah's hill. Serving traditional New
England fare in a warm and inviting ambiance, the restaurant opened to rave reviews
and remained a popular local haunt for locals. Years later as The Publyk House once
again, the red barn still exudes that same warmth and character as before with barn
board paneling and multiple fireplaces. Steven & Lauren Bryant are the current
owners of this long time restaurant, as well as the renowned Dorset Inn and Barrows
House in Dorset, VT. With a nod toward the past yet with an eye on the future, they
have once again captured the essence of The Publyk House charm. Just one step into
the lobby and you can feel the warmth of the brick hearth and smell the aroma of
honey baked bread. The dinner menu includes some of the old-time favorites…Stuffed
New England Cod, the Blue Ox NY Strip, Slow Cooked Prime Rib and Herb Roasted
Chicken. As always, diners are treated to our bountiful salad bar & fresh honey wheat
bread loaf with whipped maple butter with their meal.

Since welcoming its first guests more than two centuries ago, the Red Lion Inn has developed a reputation for outstanding food and genuine New England hospitality. Those traditions are continued today by Executive Chef Brian J. Alberg, whose kitchen features contemporary cuisine that is rooted in the region's history. Emphasizing the use of fresh, local ingredients, Chef Alberg regularly updates the Inn's menus to reflect the bounty of each changing season and is a huge proponent of the local farm sustainability movement. The regular menu includes a large percentage of locally-sourced ingredients, but the Sustainable Breakfast (served daily) and the Sustainable Foods Menu (offered Sunday & Monday nights) are exclusively locally-derived. Sommelier Dan Thomas helps guests navigate the 200+ selections on The Red Lion's wine list, which has received the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for nine consecutive years. Reservations recommended.

It’s the kind of neighborhood spot that invites both locals and visitors to pause from their day, settle in, and savor the moment at a relaxed pace.

About Us

With our new restaurant, Trail House, we hope to build
upon our success at Freight Yard Pub and connect to the exciting new developments at NORAD Mill, Greylock WORKS and TOURISTS.

We named Trail House for its prominent location along the Mohawk Trail and the Appalachian Trail. We want to link Trail House to that history and create a place where both locals and tourists feel at home. We’re excited for the
opportunity to expand and offer something a little different than the Freight Yard Pub. At Trail House, our menu reflects more farm to table fare, as well as
vegetarian meals and offerings for those with food sensitivities. Our local farm partners such as Burnett’s Farm, McKay’s Family Farm and Berkshire Mountain Farm will supply us with fresh meat, eggs and vegetables. Like
Freight Yard Pub, Trail House will offer a friendly-friendly environment, fresh comfort food and great hospitality. Come and experience the best of the Northern Berkshires and visit us at Trail House and Freight Yard Pub!
