## Resource

Two hundred fifty years after the U.S. was founded, Vermont’s path to statehood is revealed through the quiet triumphs of towns like Burlington, Bradford, and Windsor—each shaping the Green Mountain State’s soul. Burlington, chartered in 1763, thrived on rivers and forests after the Revolution; Bradford, settled in 1765, battled floods to become a river-powered hub; and Windsor, chartered in 1761, hosted Vermont’s revolutionary constitution and declared independence. Though landscapes and infrastructure have transformed, the human drive to build, belong, and endure remains unchanged.
