Vermont
Like
Rhode Island,
another New England colony that quickly established its Revolutionary
credentials, Vermont became an upstart in the War for Independence
dating back to its earliest days.
By 1777, the
colony already had its own constitution and had abolished slavery,
this after Ethan
Allen led the Green Mountain Boys to victory over the British
at the Battle of Fort Ticonderoga in 1775.
Today, Vermont
is most famous for its natural stores of maple
syrup, granite and marble at Barre, Vermont - along with a
reputation as an East Coast skiing capital featuring world famous
winter resorts at Killington,
Sugarbush.and
Stowe, the
latter connected to "Sound of Music" fame with the Trapp
Family Lodge located there.
Other major
Vermont vacation spots include the Green
Mountain National Forest, Bennington Battle Monument, spectacular
fall
foliage and annual summer events.
