Town Center Landmarks on Parade & A Witness Stone Installation at St. Peter’s – Saturday, May 30, 1-4 and 4-6 pm
Landmarks on Parade (From 1-4pm) The Town Center Project invites you to visit the historic structures in the Hebron Center as part of the nation’s 250th anniversary. St. Peter’s will be one of the sites and Fr. Ron will dress again as Samuel Peters, and be providing tours and sharing history of the church.
Witness Stone Installation & Research Display (From 4-6pm) The Hebron Historical Society and RHAM Middle School students have been researching history of African American farming in the center of the village. On Saturday, May 30th at 4:00 they will be installing a Witness Stone on the property, followed by a display of the student work and research findings in the parish hall.
The stone will be placed on a pillar between the church building and the former home of Governor John Peters, located to the north of the church. The Witness Stone commemorates the wonderful work by Governor Peters in reassembling farm land across the street that includes our nature preserve and the 87 additional acres owned by the town. This land has historical significance going back to Native Americans some 10,000 years and has an important story of African American farming and emancipation.
