Please consider joining us that morning for the yearly church service at the Midway Church at 11:30 A.M. followed by dinner on the grounds. The church is located across from the cemetery. The Midway Museum, located next to the church, will be open for tours on Sunday as well as their family history center, which contains information on families who settled in the area nearby Richmond Hill (19 miles north) and Hinesville (11 miles west) have many chain hotels and restaurants.
This will be the second of several annual markings that will eventually mark the 19 Patriot Graves that can be located with their individual markers and potentially another 34+ unmarked patriot graves in this cemetery.
