Ann Story Honored with New Marker

Vermont is honoring Ann Story, the “Mother of the Green Mountain Boys,” with a new roadside marker at the intersection of Story Drive and Shard Villa Road—where her cabin once stood and where she secretly rallied militia forces. A dramatic unveiling event on May 30th featured live performances and family descendants, spotlighting her spy work, resilience after her home was burned, and vital role in Vermont’s fight for statehood. Advocated by the Friends of Ann Story and built by volunteers, the marker aims to inspire curiosity—especially among youth—about the unsung heroines who shaped Vermont’s history. Her legacy stands as a powerful reminder that women were not just behind the scenes, but front and center in America’s founding story.
