2018 was the "Introductory Year" of this new, ongoing FoMC initiative. Our goal for 2019, the year of Middleborough's 350th birthday, is to have 100% of Middleborough's interred and remembered Veterans' graves marked with a remembrance wreath. You can be a part of this: Contact us! Wreaths@FriendsofMiddleboroughCemeteries.org
