Tombstone Project
The students at the Longwood JHS are
currently researching military records to provide tombstones for
Veterans of the Revolutionary and Civil War time periods. Many of
these veterans either have no marker or the stone is so old it
cannot be read.
This project was started by the late
town historian David Overton in 2000. In coordination with the
current town historian Barbara Russell, the students hope to honor
those who served our country
