On March 26, 2024, the FGCV held an event for a new Blue Star Memorial Marker for the northwest part of VT.
The goal is to raise money to erect a Veteran Blue Star Memorial Marker in the greater Burlington area. There is not one in this area of the state.
Vermont is proud of having five (5) markers throughout Vermont which have been the work of individual Vermont garden clubs over the years.
Markers are in
Rutland: There is a Blue Star Memorial Highway marker in Rutland on Rt 4 heading into Rutland City from Killington.
West Rutland: There is a Blue Star Memorial Highway marker on the left heading to West Rutland on Rt 4 West. Both by the Rutland Garden Club.
Hartford US 4 Blue Star Memorial Highway Marker, east of the intersection of VA Cutoff Road, Hartford, VT.
Fair Haven: Blue star marker in the town of Fair Haven Park downtown.
Springfield: Plaque in Springfield 2012 by Springfield Garden Club.
