Bringing Lives Forward: Patriots of the Concord Reformatory Prison Cemetery
Everyone Has a Story:
A Public Recognition Event
Sunday, May 18 | 2:00 – 4:00 PM (Rain or shine)
Join us in honoring the lives of veterans buried at the Concord Reformatory Prison Cemetery—men laid to rest between 1878 and 1996, whose bodies were never claimed by family, but whose stories deserve to be remembered. Many served in the Civil War and other military tours of duty. This event seeks to acknowledge their service, dignity, and humanity.
⭐ Volunteers needed! Help honor veterans by reading their biographies during this event. To volunteer, contact Liz Rust at Liz@therusts.net or click here. ⭐
