In the 1940s, the family moved to [[Stowe, Vermont]], where they ran a [[music camp]] when they were not touring. In 1944, Maria Augusta, Maria Franziska, Johanna, Martina, Hedwig and Agathe applied for U.S. citizenship, whereas Georg never applied to become a citizen. Rupert and Werner became citizens by serving during World War II, while Rosmarie and Eleonore became citizens by virtue of their mother's citizenship. Johannes was born in the United States in [[Philadelphia]] on 17 January 1939 during a concert tour.<ref name=nara2/> Georg von Trapp died in 1947 in Vermont after suffering lung cancer.

The family made a series of 78-rpm records for [[RCA Victor]] in the 1950s, some of which were later issued on [[RCA Camden]] LPs. There were also a few later recordings released on LPs, including some stereo sessions. In 1957, the Trapp Family Singers disbanded and went their separate ways. Maria and three of her children became missionaries in [[Papua New Guinea]]. In 1965, Maria moved back to Vermont to manage the [[Trapp Family Lodge]], which had been named ''Cor Unum''. She began turning over management of the lodge to her son Johannes, although she was initially reluctant to do so.<ref>{{cite book|first=Maria Augusta|last=Trapp|title=Maria: Maria von&nbsp;Trapp, My Own Story|year=1972|publisher=Coverdale House |quote=Like many other parents who have been leaders for a very long time, I simply didn't know how to step down without bitterness and reproaches.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=m36hAgAACAAJ|isbn=0-902088-43-2}}</ref> Hedwig returned to Austria and worked as a teacher in [[Umhausen]].
