Snapshot: Revolutionary War Soldiers Honored In Lower Bucks

Editor's Note —This is a weekly photograph series.

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —About two years ago, Yardley photographer Josh Friedman gave a presentation for the Yardley Historical Association called "Bucks County's Beauty and History: A Photographic Tour with Josh Friedman."

One section of his presentation featured Revolutionary War sites in Bucks County.

This snapshot was taken in September 2021 of the Revolutionary War burial site in Langhorne. It was part of the presentation.

The site has an interesting history, Friedman said.

Around 1990, a building project was planned in that section of Langhorne.

However, for about 200 years, word of mouth had passed on that Revolutionary War soldiers were buried in that land.

The town hired an anthropologist from Temple University to excavate.

They found bits of bones, nails, and wood. They concluded that more than 160 Continental (American) soldiers had been buried there.
