Ann Story The Mother Of The Green Mountain Boys

A new roadside marker in Salisbury, Vermont, honors Ann Story, the “Mother of the Green Mountain Boys,” a Revolutionary War heroine who served as a spy and sheltered militia fighters from her cabin. After her husband’s death, she ran a farm alone, rebuilt her home after it was burned by British allies, and added a secret trapdoor for safety. At her marker’s unveiling, attendees praised her as a fearless patriot and symbol of the unsung women who helped shape Vermont’s founding. The “Friends of Ann Story” group championed the marker to inspire local pride and educate younger generations about their heritage. Ann Story, who died in 1817, lives on as a beacon of resilience, hard work, and integrity in Vermont’s early history. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
