Join Civil War genealogist Vicki Profitt as she leads a tour through
Fairport's Greenvale Cemetery, located on East Church Street in the
Village of Fairport on Tuesday, June 8, 2010 at 7 p.m.
Discover a soldier who served under Colonel Robert Gould Shaw in
the famed 54th Massachusetts Volunteers, which was the subject of
the movie Glory. Meet a 16 year old drummer boy who enlisted in the
108th NY Infantry. Learn which Fairport veteran was a caretaker at
the cottage where President Ulysses S. Grant died.
These local soldiers and more will be illuminated in a one-hour walking tour of
Greenvale. We will meet at the entrance to the cemetery at 7 p.m.
Please wear comfortable shoes.
Vicki Profitt has researched the Civil War soldiers of Monroe County since 2008. Her Illuminated History blog
