The Rochester Historical Commission along with the Historical Society want to invite Rochester residents to attend the Sons of the American Revolution’s Gravemarking Ceremony at the Rochester Center Cemetery on Saturday, October 26 at 11:00 am.
This will honor Rochester resident, Thomas Bassett, who enlisted and served in the new American army during the Revolutionary War. He was a witness to the evacuation of the British Army from Boston and marched to Rhode Island and West Point, New York. He also served on ships sailing the Cape Cod waters.
Marking the graves of our Revolutionary War soldiers makes sure that these men are never forgotten for the part they played in the creation of our country.
