“On May 22, 2000, in a ceremony at Twinfield Union School, Governor Howard B. Dean, M.D. signed Act 99, which designated “These Green Mountains” as the new state song of Vermont. The event marked the end of a lengthy artistic and legislative process coordinated by the Vermont Arts Council.”

These Green Mountains Lyrics
“These green hills and silver waters
Are my home – they belong to me
And to all of her sons and daughters
May they be strong and forever free
Let us live to protect her beauty
And look with pride on the golden dome
They say home is where the heart is
These green mountains are my home
These green mountains are my home”
