SUMMARY:“Meet the Patriots” at Granville’s Old Colony Burying Ground on July  3rd
DESCRIPTION:Granville’s Old Colony Burying Ground boasts the gravesites of 23 veterans of the\nAmerican Revolution — probably the third-largest number of all graveyards in Ohio. On\nJuly 3rd from 2:00 to 4:30 p.m., visitors to the Old Colony will be able to “meet the\nPatriots”; as members of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), dressed in period\nmilitary uniform, bring the veterans to life at their headstones in the historic graveyard.\nPortraying 11 of Granville’s Revolutionary soldiers, the SAR members will narrate the\nveterans’; wartime experiences. Five of them will be accompanied by their “wives,”\nplayed by members of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and dressed in\nperiod-appropriate costumes. Activities and patriotic souvenirs are planned for kids,\nalong with the opportunity to be photographed with George Washington!\nVisitors are invited to enter the Old Colony from either the northwest gate on South\nMain Street, or from the South Prospect Street steps on the west edge of the graveyard.\nEnter at any time; there will be no waiting lines. Hosts will greet guests and get them\nstarted on visits with the Patriots. Veteran re-enactors will be stationed at their\nheadstones all over the yard, and visitors may begin a tour with any of them, and\ncomplete the circuit from there. Tour maps of all the veteran headstones will be\navailable.\nThe re-enactors will include members of three Ohio chapters of the SAR: Hocking\nValley Chapter, Camp Charlotte Chapter, and the Ben Franklin Chapter. Three chapters\nof the DAR will also participate, including the Newark Hetuck Chapter, the Elizabeth\nSherman Reese Chapter, and the Pickaway Plains Chapter.\nIn case of rain, the event will be held on Monday, July 5.\nDo you want to visit the honored soldiers’ graves sooner than July 3rd? Starting on\nMemorial Day weekend, all the Revolutionary patriots’ Old Colony headstones will be\ndecorated with red, white, and blue bows, with laminated tags identifying each veteran.\nThe decorations will remain on the headstones through the July 4th holiday. Self-guided\ntour maps of the sites will be available in the flyer mailbox just inside the north entry-\ngate on S. Main Street.\n
