Ann Story Mother of the Green Mountain Boys

Salisbury, Vermont, honors Ann Story—the “Mother of the Green Mountain Boys”—with a new historical marker at her former cabin site, celebrating her vital role as a patriot, spy, and resilient mother who rebuilt her home after it was burned by British allies. Her story, long overlooked, now shines through community efforts, a local play, and voices like Rebecca Hougher, who highlights her grit and leadership. Led by Tom Hughes of the Friends of Ann Story, the initiative aims to spotlight women’s history and inspire curiosity, especially among youth, about the real people and events that shaped Vermont’s foundation.
