Civil War Historic Marker Dedication Ceremony is this Thursday, 5/29

Everyone is invited to attend a ceremony dedicating a Civil War Veterans Historic Marker this Thursday, May 29, at 10:00am in Pittsford Cemetery.  

Advocacy for this new historic marker began in 2018 with the publication of "Eight Brave Soldiers in Pittsford Cemetery" by Thornell Road Elementary students in Mrs. Stevens-Oliver’s 2017-2018 4th-grade class, who received research assistance from Town and Village of Pittsford Historian Vicki Masters Profitt. The class received an award from the New York State Archives Partnership Trust for their hard work and will use a portion of the prize money to plant flowers around the marker. 

The ceremony will take place in the center of the cemetery, near the flagpole. A light reception will follow. Pittsford Cemetery is located at 38 Washington Road in the Village of Pittsford. Join us!
