RUTLAND, Vt. (AP) - The city of Rutland has a new marble sculpture of Revolutionary War hero Ann Story.
Organizers say Story, with help from her son Solomon, spied for Ethan Allen during the war. The widow also housed the Green Mountain Boys and, according to the Rutland Herald, once sent her son with a note to warn Allen about a British spy.
The sculpture depicts her looking out a doorway with her son who is holding an ax.
It’s part of an effort to install at least 10 marble sculptures in downtown Rutland, to showcase local and regional history. Green Mountain Power, MKF Properties, the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center and Vermont Quarries are working together on the project.
The sculpture was paid for by a local family, and the marble was donated.
