Description
The Trapp family was largely fictionalized in the 1959 musical The Sound of Music, which was loosely based on the 1949 book The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp. Baron Georg von Trapp and his wife Maria left Austria shortly after its annexation by Nazi Germany in 1938 and settled with their family in Vermont in 1942.
After the Baron’s death in 1947, the family expanded and operated their home as a 30-room ski lodge. In 1968, Johannes von Trapp (father of the current owner) elected to install a series of cross-country ski trails.
The network of trails can be seen on this vibrant poster map, likely published in the mid-1970s. Various amenities and geographic features are labeled, with an accompanying list of trail distances. An inset in the lower left shows a simple contour map of the surrounding region, with the warning that the area is ‘Not Groomed and Not Patrolled’ and ‘For Experienced Skiers Only.’
