Find A Grave

Thirty four virtual cemeteries were created by our President, Eileen Porter-Schmidt in Find a Grave and she welcomes anyone who would like to learn more or even better, assist with the research! This is a link to all 34 >> https://www.findagrave.com/virtual-cemetery/search/50960888. The 11 links below are historic Litchfield specific but there are 23 more including neighboring towns of Barkhamsted, Bethlem, Goshen, Harwinton, New Hartford, Plymouth, Thomaston, Torrington and Washington!

The results of all this effort provides the Litchfield Patriots with a comprehensive list of Rev. War Patriot gravesites with a condition assessment that helps the Litchfield Patriots restore those that have fallen into disrepair or are missing.
>>>>Cleaning help is needed every year so if you'd like to learn more about how to do this, Eileen can help!
