Historical society in upstate New York restores Revolutionary War graves

HENRIETTA, N.Y. (CNN, KYMA) - In a small town near Rochester, New York, historical society volunteers are honoring Revolutionary War Veterans.

They are doing it by cleaning and buffing their headstones at a Henrietta cemetery.

The Veterans came to the town after the war, and later died.

Henrietta's historian says it was long before roads and even before the Erie Canal, so the men would have had to get there on foot or by oxen cart.

The volunteers say when they're done with all the Revolutionary War Veterans, they're going to start working on the Civil War Veterans' headstones.
