unc, do you hear any sounds of music...are you at the von Trappe Family Lodge?
The von Trapp family, memorialized in The Sound of Music and The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp, fled from the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany and ended up in Vermont in 1942. In 1950, a 27-room ski lodge was opened. The lodge was destroyed by a fire, on December 20, 1980, that forced 45 people, including Baroness Maria Von Trapp, to flee in their nightclothes. In 1983 a new, Austrian-style lodge with 93 rooms was opened.
