New Trinity Cemetery is more than a historic burial ground. It is a place of memory, service, and unfinished duty. Through the ongoing restoration of New Trinity, Post 655 is helping bring honor back to the resting place of more than 500+ veterans whose stories deserve to be remembered, protected, and shared. This section follows the work being done to preserve the cemetery, repair all headstones, uncover local and national history of all that are resting there, teach future generations, and ensure that those who served this country are never forgotten. Here, remembrance is not passive. It is action.  Click here for more New Trinity Cemetery
