In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, America 250-Ohio, in partnership with the Ohio State Historic Preservation Office, Terracon Consultants, Inc., Daughters of the American Revolution and Sons of the American Revolution, is documenting the gravesites of Revolutionary War veterans buried in Ohio.
The project is called the Revolutionary War Veteran Graves Identification Project.
It is thought there are over 7,000 Revolutionary War Veterans buried in Ohio.
While there are sources for finding the sites of their final resting place, there currently is no one comprehensive, public, searchable database and digital map.
As a legacy project of America 250-Ohio, we are setting out to create one and we need you to be a part of this effort!
