About the event
Kenneth Dyke-Glover has found a map, done by the Works Project Administration (WPA) in the early 1900s, showing that about 104 veterans, including more than 70 Revolutionary War Veterans, are buried in various graves and tombs in our cemetery, mostly without their names. Before this map was found, we thought there were 5 Revolutionary War Veterans in Broad St Cemetery.
On May 25, from 1pm-3pm Kenneth will talk at the Pickering House about the WPA map and then lead a walk and talk about each veteran he can find information about.
This is a fundraiser, where 100% of proceeds from tickets with go towards Kenneth’s next Peace Trip to Ukraine. Free admission to all Friends of Broad St Cemetery.
