Revolutionary War markers installed at Ancient Cemetery; commission readies monument event
Summary
The commission reported that fabricated Revolutionary War grave markers have been installed at Ancient Cemetery and discussed logistics for a monument event, including parking, bus capacity, a stone carver on site, and a poetry contest handout to be distributed next week.
Vice Chair Bob Kelley told the commission that Revolutionary War grave markers have been fabricated and installed at Ancient Cemetery and that HSOY will pay John Fougere for the work and then request reimbursement from the Town.
Kelley also raised concerns about bus capacity for an upcoming Revolutionary War monument event, suggesting the commission may need additional buses if visitor turnout is high. Chair Julie Mockabee said the commission will have access to all school parking lots and emphasized the need for communications between parking volunteers and event volunteers. Kelley noted that a stone carver will be stationed at Ancient Cemetery during the event; Mockabee said she will have the poetry contest handout ready next week.
The discussion focused on operational planning rather than approval of expenditures at the meeting. Commissioners asked logistical questions about parking, visitor flow and volunteer coordination; no formal vote was required or taken on the event logistics during this session.
