September is coming and so are two events at the Society’s museum at 355 County Rd. The first is our monthly meeting on September 18 at 7:00. David Schafer of the Sons of the American Revolution will speak on the research that it takes to locate the graves of Revolutionary War Patriots in order to install a memorial markers.
This is a prelude to an event on October 26 at 11:00 in the Rochester Center Cemetery to honor Thomas Bassett of Rochester who was a soldier during the Revolutionary War.
The second event will be our annual Cranberry Bake Sale on September 28 from 10-3. Along with delicious bake goods the day will include the reopening of our current exhibit, sales of our Rochester items, a chance to upcycle jewelry and buttons and much more. More info on that as we get closer to the date.
