What a Vermont family sees

TreeAlive maps family trees. When a visitor's ancestors lived in Vermont, the markers standing near those places surface automatically alongside their family's journey:

Battle of Hubbardton · near where a family farmed in the 1780s · the only Revolutionary War battle fought on Vermont soil, July 7, 1777

A marker stops being a roadside plaque and becomes a destination with a personal reason to visit. Open the live demo tree, choose the Crossings tab, and turn on Historical Markers to see the experience working (the demo family’s markers are in Pennsylvania; a Vermont family sees Vermont’s).

QR-ready, from day one

Every marker page has print-ready QR artwork. A scan at the sign opens the marker's page on the period map, no app to install. The artwork files are available to the division and its sign vendors; TreeAlive does no printing or installation.

Marker page links are permanent: identifiers are never reassigned, so a code printed today resolves for good.

Built for the America250 moment

Vermont's Revolutionary sites already anchor its marker program: Hubbardton, Mount Independence, the Bennington Battle Monument. As the nation's 250th approaches, each story can live as a linked set of marker pages on maps of the Revolutionary era, the same maps our visitors already explore through their own family history.
