Winter St Cemetery Veterans Display

In honor of Veterans week, free maps of Revolutionary War soldiers, surgeons and more graves are available on the post of the new "America 250!" commemorative sign at the Front St. gate of the historic Winter Street Cemetery. This map is a gift from the Exeter Chapter of the DAR.

The NH State Daughters of the American Revolution unveiled this sign in a solemn ceremony witnessed by over 200 people. The sign honors the contributions of all Black soldiers and sailors from NH involved in struggle for US independence, which actually began in the two years leading up to 1776.

Professional photographers captured the day on film, from the costumed SAR color guard to the playing of taps, and you may see the gallery of over 70 photos here. https://nhsodar.smugmug.com/Ho...

As the holiday season goes along, the Exeter DAR's next patriotic project is a public "Wreaths Across America" event on Dec. 14th at the Winter Street Cemetery in Exeter. The public is invited to click here to sponsor a wreath under group "NH005".

The DAR is a non-partisan group of women who can trace lineage to a Patriot from the Revolutionary War. They join together to work on the national DAR three part mission of: Patriotism, Historic Preservation, and Civic Education. The Exeter Chapter draws women from all towns in the greater Exeter area, and is 65 members strong. New members are alway welcome.
