Lilacs were among the favorite May blooms used to decorate the graves of Civil War veterans on Decoration Day — what we now observe as Memorial Day. Today we remember all those from Freeport and beyond who, in Lincoln’s words, “gave the last full measure of devotion.”

This morning’s Memorial Day observances in Freeport were canceled due to heavy rain — but we remember still. This afternoon, the sun is peeking out at Pettengill, where Millie’s white lilac is blooming, along with the apple trees and white narcissus.

Don't forget to register for the FHS event this Saturday!

Freeport Historical Society invites you to a morning of shared storytelling and reflection that begins with one homeowner’s unexpected discovery. Kathleen Sullivan will share how learning about her house at Porter’s Landing—and its connection to the Atlantic slave trade—changed the story she had long told herself about her home.

Participants are invited to listen, reflect, and share their own experiences of learning something that changed how they saw the past, as we consider why these stories matter today—and how the stories we tell become the histories we leave behind.
