Patriot Sign Dedication
October 27, 2021
Remembering Eight Revolutionary War Patriots
On September 18, 2021 there was a well attended ceremony to dedicate a William G. Pomeroy Foundation patriot sign at the Old Madrid Cemetery in Madrid. Through the efforts of the Thousand Islands SAR and the Madrid Historians, a beautiful ceremony was held that also included Nihanawate DAR, Madrid American Legion, Forsyth's Rifles and Col Wemble's 2nd Regt Albany County Militia. Honored were patriots Samuel Chipman, Oliver Eastman, Joseph Hall, Abiram Hurlburt, Salmon Hurlburt Jr, Thaddeus Hurlburt, Solomon Linsley, and Abisha Packard.
The complete presentation is available for viewing on our Madrid History Facebook page www.Facebook.com/MadridHistory
MHS was represented in Madrid's 4th of July parade with a float put together by the Day, Schulz, and Losey families!
We are very excited to bring to you our new webpage for the Madrid Historical Society. Take a look around and tell us what you think! We will continue to be adding and/or changing things on the webpage and we welcome suggestions on how to improve the interaction with the public.
