In an era in which downtown storefronts across America are increasingly vacant and boarded up, Benson's heart has remained strong and vital, with more than 100 shops, eateries and service venues operating in the downtown core. Join us for shopping, dining or sightseeing amidst the
nostalgic beauty of turn-of-the-century architecture in Historic
Downtown Benson.
Historic Charm
Part of Benson's charm is that so much of the town has been unaffected by the passage of time. In fact, 54 acres of the town, including downtown and several residential neighborhoods, were named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
