About 60 people attended in a steady rain.

Speakers included City of Warren Councilman Maurice Cashman, Warren County Commissioner Ken Klakamp, Warren County Historical Society Board President Robert Carlson, and Warren County Visitors Bureau Executive Director Casey Ferry. In attendance was State Sen. Scott Hutchinson.

This is the 250th anniversary of Warren’s death during the Battle of Bunker Hill. The ceremony took place in General Joseph Warren Park. The Warren Music Conservatory’s Voices of the Conservatory Choir and Brass Ensemble honored Warren with a selection of stirring patriotic music. There were proclamations and a wreath laying during the event.

This remembrance took place at the foot of the General Joseph Warren statue, the only statue of Warren outside of Boston. It was presented to the county 115 years ago by local members of the DAR.
