About The Event

In France during the Great War, five Chatham Borough men lost their lives. Their sacrifice was originally honored by the planting of five red oak trees in 1919 on the grounds of Public School #1, now the Municipal Building. Sadly none remain.

In conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the United States entry into WW1, the Chatham Historical Society will dedicate another red oak tree in memory of the soldiers whose lives it commemorates and in gratitude for their ultimate sacrifice.
