SUMMARY:Old Burying Ground Tribute
DESCRIPTION:Eleven Lincoln Patriots of the Revolution and five British soldiers are buried in the oldest of Lincoln’s three burial grounds. 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. We are joined for the ceremony by a representative from the British Consulate in Boston. \nLMM 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. After the ceremony\, we march back to Pierce House for refreshments provided by the Lincoln Historical Society. \nImage courtesy of the Lincoln Minute Men
