Memorial Day Ceremony at Hillside Cemetery

The Drum Hill Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) has created a beautiful contemplative Never Forget Garden, at Hillside Cemetery (165 Ridgefield Rd.), as part of the national recognition of the 100th Anniversary of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The effort is in reverent tribute to veterans, active military, first responders and their families, now and for all time.

Residents are invited to the ribbon cutting for the garden, which will take place immediately following the Hillside Cemetery Memorial Day Ceremony at the conclusion of Wilton’s Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 30.

The Memorial Day Ceremony at Hillside Cemetery will start at about 11 a.m. with the firing of a replica of a Civil War cannon. The ceremonies will end at about noon with the playing of taps and the raising of the flag to full staff.
