The von Trapp family, left Austria shortly before its annexation by 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 and in 1983 a new lodge with 93 rooms was opened. By the time Maria von Trapp died in 1987, 32 family members owned stock in the lodge. Johannes von Trapp bought their shares in 1994 and resolved all family lawsuits in 1999. (Adapted from Wikipedia)
