Description:
The Molly Stark statue in Wilmington, Vermont, a striking over life-sized bronze figure created by sculptor Robert Shure of Skylight Studios, depicts Molly Stark striding forward with a baby cradled in one arm and a flintlock musket in the other. Installed along the historic Molly Stark Trail (Route 9), the statue honors her dual role as devoted patriot and homemaker, celebrated for nursing soldiers during a smallpox epidemic and opening her home as an infirmary during the American Revolution.
