Dedicated on September 12, 2026! 

Here is the program from the event.  Photos will be posted soon thanks to Terry Augustyn.

This committee also works with other individuals and groups to identify, assess, clean, restore, repair, and mark the grave stones for Revolutionary War veterans and patriots buried in Historic Litchfield and Morris Cemeteries.  

Here is a link to Find A Grave where 61 virtual cemeteries were created by Eileen Porter-Schmidt!  https://www.findagrave.com/virtual-cemetery/search/50960888.  

There are 12 links below specific to historic Litchfield since that is the mission of the Litchfield Patriots, Inc. but there are many more including neighboring towns of Barkhamsted, Bethlem, Goshen, Harwinton, New Hartford, Plymouth, Thomaston, Torrington and Washington!   View them all here.

The images above are of our 2024 project to repair, relocate, and restore the Beecher Memorial.  The restoration was made possible thanks to a grant from the Seherr-Thoss Foundations of Litchfield, with additional funding from the Borough of Litchfield Warden and Burgesses, the Litchfield County University Club, and the Greater Litchfield Preservation Trust with support from the First Congregational Church of Litchfield.   

In 2020, the Litchfield Patriots raised funds and secured a grant from the Scherr-Thoss Foundations of Litchfield for a new stone for the Hon. Andrew Adams, Esq. gravesite.  Adams was a Connecticut Delegate to 2nd Continental Congress, Signer of the United States Articles of Confederation, a Revolutionary War Colonel in the Connecticut Militia, Chief Justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court, a Member of St. Paul's Masonic Lodge No. II , and Deacon of Litchfield Congregational Church.  The rededication was held on June 27, 2020.
