Vermont Free Territory
Title
Vermont Free Territory
Subject
Communes and Counterculture
Description
This flyer promotes the countercultural ethos and communal living in Vermont by numerous groups. Roz moved to Vermont in the 1970s to join a commune as did many of her friends. Together, the large number of communes saw their collective work as a move to guarantee the free country in Vermont for their shared countercultural values and beliefs. The use of the phrase, "Don't Tread on Me" further suggests a libertarian impulse shooting through the strong committmint to community values.
