Worthington's Revolutionary War Veterans - America 250 at St. John's Series

Many Worthingtonians know that Scioto Company members and town founders Abner Pinney, Israel Case, and William Thompson served in America's struggle for independence, but did you know that two Minute Men, a member of the Green Mountain Boys, and a New Hampshire soldier who fought at Bunker Hill are also here? In honor of America's 250th Birthday, the St. John's Historic Preservation Fund is sponsoring a series of talks and tours related to the intertwined histories of Worthington and its first faith community. Ted Dziemianowicz will lead a tour in the St. John's Churchyard to tell of the service of ten early Worthingtonians in the American Colonies' fight for independence ... and how, decades later, they wound up in Worthington!

We will gather behind the church, in the churchyard (cemetery). Please wear suitable walking shoes and sun protection. In the event of rain please come to the "patio" front doors just to the right of the church entrance. The event will be held inside in lecture format. Light refreshments served afterward.
