Memorial Day Observance Scheduled
for Muskalonge Cemetery
Monday, May 26th, 9:00 a.m.

For a 4th year, a Memorial Day Observance is scheduled at Muskalonge Cemetery by the Friends of the cemetery. They anticipate the Sackets Harbor American Legion, Ladies Auxiliary, (select) Sentinel Band & 10th Mt. Division members will stop and pay tribute to those who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. As this is a pioneer cemetery owned by the Town, many of the veterans interred here served during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.  However, there are veterans who served in later wars, and one who fought during WW II.

Due to the recent sequester, and because of anticipated, long delays,
the Friends group does not foresee receiving veteran replacement stones in 2014.

Friends of Muskalonge Cemetery held their annual winter dinner this evening to discuss final work items for 2014 (when restoration efforts at the cemetery will begin to wind down).

2014 -

• New sign for the cemetery (purchased this year) will be placed in the spring
• Memorial Day services are scheduled for Mon., May 26th.
• At least two work parties will take place: VA replacement stones are due to arrive
• Fundraising continues

For questions, call or email

Friends group plan to meet for a Fall work party on Sat., October 12th, at 10:00 a.m.

Check out our Maple Syrup Fundraiser produced by W.E. Allen.


USES: Great on blueberry pancakes. Use in place of table sugar as a sweetener (great for tea and coffee), pour some on oatmeal (along with walnuts and raisins), add to cooked sweet potatoes (with cinnamon), use as a glaze for ham (along with brown sugar), or spread over top of peanut butter and sliced bananas on whole wheat toast. Yum!

Regardless of how you enjoy this tasty treat, we hope you will purchase maple syrup be W.E. Allen to help support our Muskalonge Cemetery restoration effort. Call Warren directly: 315-486-3919.

Thank you, in advance!
