The resolution commemorates the 250th anniversary of Ethan Allen's planning in Bennington in 1775, which led to the successful initiation of Vermont's involvement in the American War of Independence and the expedition to Ticonderoga. It highlights the role of the Green Mountain Boys, a militia group from the New Hampshire Grants, who executed a strategic plan to seize British-held forts at Crown Point and Ticonderoga, resulting in significant victories for the American patriots. These actions are recognized as pivotal moments in the fight for independence and contributed to the eventual admission of Vermont as the 14th state.

In May 2025, Vermonters will celebrate the bravery and contributions of the Green Mountain Boys and their leader, Ethan Allen, through public events in Bennington County. The resolution calls for the General Assembly to officially commemorate this historic milestone and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the Bennington Town Clerk, ensuring that the legacy of these early patriots is honored and remembered.
