An annual commemorative ceremony by the Lincoln Minute Men has been conducted at their graves for more than fifty years.   \nThe Company assembles with a contingent of British soldiers and invited dignitaries at Pierce House\, and with fifes\, drums\, and bagpipes playing\, we march across fields and along historic paths to the burial ground\, where we enter with muffled drums and fifes playing a Revolutionary funeral march.  They are joined for the ceremony by a representative from the British Consulate in Boston.  LMM members present dramatic narratives; soldiers provide commemorative volleys; musicians play solemn laments.  Two children assist the LMM Captain in placing flags at Patriots’ graves.  British soldiers and the British Consulate’s representative place a wreath at the British monument.   \nAfter the ceremony\, The Lincoln Minute Men march back to Pierce House for refreshments provided by the Lincoln Historical Society. \nImage courtesy of the Lincoln Minute Men\n \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			This event explores our region’s revolutionary past!
