Restoring and Preserving U.S.C.T Burials in Harford County We have identified 305 U.S.C.T soldiers with ties to Harford County, documenting service records and personal data. this research - made possible by a grant from the Dresher Foundation - has been shared with the Historical Society of Harford County and made available online. To date, 49 burial sites have been identified within the county. We visited each site, assessed headstone and cemetery conditions, and placed a marker to honor their legacy. Biographies of each soldier have been authored. Upcoming efforts include cleaning, repairing, or replacing damaged headstones, and providing a permanent historical plaque in each cemetery to ensure these heroes are properly remembered.Join our community of supporters and become a member today.
