William Henry Harrison – Parade and Wreath Laying – Special Birthday Event!

Attention SAR Colorguardsmen,

We invite all SAR members including those in the Color Guard to participate in a commemorative event on Friday February 6th in North Bend / Cleves, OH.

This event will commemorate the birthday of William Henry Harrison.

A brochure outlining the event is attached:

2026 WHH invitation–Wreath Laying Ceremony

Where / When: the event will take place on Friday, Feb. 6, with wreath laying at 11 am at his tomb site at 41 Cliff Rd, North Bend OH 45052.

The event starts with a march/parade to the tomb.  If interested in participating in the March, you should gather at the North Bend Municipal Building at 21 Taylor Avenue, North Bend, OH at 10:30AM.  They will serve coffee/drinks and donuts to keep you fueled for the march up the half mile walk (steep grade).

If you chose to not march and attend the wreath laying, you can park next to the tomb site (up the hill – next to the tomb) and gather at the tomb.

This is a very moving event.  There are lots of civic members, school children sing patriotic songs, special wreath laying events and the Color Guard will perform a musket volley.

William Henry Harrison only served 30 days as a US President and passed away very soon into his short presidency.

Come join us to celebrate this terrific and moving event.

Let  Jason Bourgeois, CCSAR Color Guard Commander (email: jpbourgeois@roadrunner.com) know if you will be coming.
