Memorial Day Commemorative Program

The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation presents a modern service honoring military veterans who died while serving their country. Wreaths will be placed at the Palace, Bruton Parish Church and the French Grave site to honor those interred in or near those sites from the American Revolution and the War Between the States. A procession with Fife and Drum support will begin at the Palace and proceed to the aforementioned sites. Prayers will be given and musket volleys fired at the Palace and Churchyard; a brief commemorative service with musket and cannon volleys will take place at the French grave site. The French grave site is the only location where cannon will be fired. For more information, call 1-800-HISTORY.
