Welcome to the NY0417P - Bristol Hills Historical Society's Wreaths Across America Page.
Among the first pioneers to settle in the Bristol Hills were many veterans of the Revolutionary War. They, along with hundreds of other veterans are buried in the many small local cemeteries in Bristol and South Bristol. Beginning in 2022, the Bristol Hills Historical Society has honored the history and legacy of Bristol Hill veterans by participating with Wreaths Across America.
On December 14, 2024 (See location pages for ceremony and wreath placement details), the Bristol Hills Historical Society will Remember and Honor many of our local veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes at the Bristol Center, Vincent Hill, Coye and Wilder Cemeteries. Click Locations in the upper banner above to learn more about each of these locations.
Beginning in 2024, the Bristol Hills Historical Society asks that you consider sponsoring wreaths for veteran graves in other local cemeteries, including Evergreen (Bristol), Academy & Hunn (Canandaigua) and Overacker (Middlesex). Wreaths sponsored in excess of the needs of our small cemeteries will be shared to these area locations. You can learn more about these locations and help sponsor their wreaths by clicking on Locations in the banner above.
Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreaths Day, or inviting your family and friends to attend with you.
Thank you so much for supporting the NY0417P - Bristol Hills Historical Society and Wreaths Across America!
