There are several activities planned and many in progress to celebrate and commemorate America's 250th anniversary as a free country making our own laws and plotting our own paths without interference from foreign powers.
Perhaps you have a specific Ohio county of interest, or a cemetery of concern in the state where you know American Revolutionary War veterans are buried. This year would be a good year to bring your concerns to those who can do something about resolving the issues and helping document the grave sites from your instructions provided to them.
There is a link here on the blog to learn more about this program and how to participate by contributing to it.
Thus, I am sharing a thought of what someone can do even if they are not able to visit a cemetery in person so that an American Revolutionary War veteran's grave site will be documented. What I did was send an email to someone whom I knew lives near where the Revolutionary War veteran is buried and provide them the necessary information regarding the veteran and approximately where in the cemetery the veteran is buried (i.e cemetery name including alternate names; section details; any maps of the cemetery I have, etc.) They in turn can visit the grave site and document it with their in-person photographs and location specifics directly sharing the required information for that veteran in the database.
Here is the link for how to contribute.
The Interactive Dashboard keeps everyone up to date with what is happening with this important project and how it is progressing.
May 4, 2026 is the deadline for the public to participate in this Project before it is reviewed for accuracy. When that portion is completed, the results will then be published for the public to view by July 4, 2026.
Please refer to the website for all of the particulars with this project!
