Attendees then moved to Burying Yard Point, where the historical society unveiled a new state marker and re-dedicated a monument first placed there in 1927.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Both plaques honor Revolutionary War soldiers buried in the town\u2019s first cemetery. Some of their direct descendants were there to witness it.
