Forty American Revolution War veterans buried in Mt. Hebron Cemetery will be honored for their sacrifice in securing our Independent and Freedom. A Nation governed by a Constitution is what they fought and died to establish.

Numbers of scholars will speak as Revolutionary War Soldiers, and re-enactors will tell stories and show there equipment. Liberty Man, a popular “old soldier” will meet kids and adults who attend. Liberty Man portrays his Great x4 Grandfather Abel Johnston who fought the British alongside General Daniel Morgan. Many other descendants of soldiers, who fought in the Revolution, will be present.
