Vermont history hums with the American spirit of independence. That determined spirit armed Revolutionary forces at the
Battle of Hubbardton and fortified the settlement of populist
Daniel Shay. Since independence must be preserved once it is attained, a tradition of stewardship also remains as much a part of Vermont’s landscape as its iconic
covered bridges. Our Vermont history books celebrate the distinctive heritage of the Green Mountain State, from the shores of
Burlington to the halfpipes of
Stratton Mountain.
