On September 17 at 7:00 pm, the Rochester Historical Society meeting at 355 County Road, Rochester will feature a talk by Bruce Bassett. This isn’t Bruce’s first trip to Rochester, as he was here a year ago for a ceremony by the Sons of the American Revolution to honor his ancestor, Thomas Bassett. He will speak about the journey that led him from a childhood in New York to that day at Rochester Center Cemetery.
This ties in with our 2025-2026 project to gather information and if possible, pictures of gravestones to compile a list of Rochester’s Revolutionary veterans. We’re hoping for a good turnout and as always there’ll be refreshments and good conversation to end the evening.
