Thank you to everyone who supported our fundraiser.
Unfortunately, someone posted the map on Facebook
and donations were well below what was raised last year.
As a result, we will not be holding the event in 2025.
Gravestones Preserved at William Lane Cemetery
The gravestones of four Revolutionary War veterans and one of their wives were preserved at the William Lane Cemetery near Milltown Road. Funding for this project was made possible through the sponsorship of Middletown Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. The DAR Historic Preservation Grant was awarded to the Friends of Bridgewater History with matching funds contributed by generous community members. Before and After Photos of the gravestones were provided by Jablonski Building Conservation, Inc., who performed the work.
