Travel back in time to join Abraham Lincoln and the 1st Minnesota Infantry to honor Civil War Veterans buried at Lakewood. The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) will host this special ceremony dedicating 75 new markers for Civil War Soldiers who have been in unmarked graves. Along with the reenactors, the ceremony will feature the Living History Society, Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War and a fife and a drum player from the 1st Minnesota. After the ceremony, enjoy a free, guided walking tour of the graves of soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Minnesota Infantry regiments.
