Fostering the Birth of the Republic"
Set against the backdrop of Vermont's stunning and remarkable landscape, this account explores how the region's natural beauty and resilient communities played a pivotal role in shaping the early days of American independence. Through stories of perseverance, unity, and collective effort, we see how the Green Mountains served as both a sanctuary and an inspiration for those striving to build a new nation.
