Memorial Day observances at Pricketts Fort will feature interpreters at four separate stations arrayed across the Pricketts Fort grounds, representing the following four wars in which men from Pricketts Fort or their descendents, saw service: The French & Indian War; Lord Dunmore’s War; the Revolutionary War and the Civil War.
Each interpreter will be dressed as a militiaman or soldier from his respective war, and will speak to visitors about the role of men from Pricketts Fort and the surrounding area in each conflict.
In the case of the French & Indian War the interpreter will be a Shawnee warrior.
At 11 a.m. and at 3 p.m., a wreath-laying ceremony will take place, together with a militia firing. Interpreters will be at their stations throughout the day, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The public is encouraged to attend.
