The Pack Horse Ford Chapter in Shepherdstown has launched an initiative to honor local Revolutionary War patriots by distributing 300 brochures titled 'Revolutionary War Patriot Burials in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.' Funded by a $500 grant from the DAR, these brochures aim to educate residents and visitors about the town's historical significance and encourage exploration of its cemeteries ahead of the upcoming 250th commemoration of the American Revolution. The brochures were shared with key local institutions, including the Shepherdstown Library and Welcome Center, highlighting notable graves and the Bee Line March Monument, enhancing community engagement with the area's rich history, as reported by The Journal.
