The remains of 110 soldiers from General Washington's Continental Army are interred here. Wounded at the battles of Brandywine and Germantown, these soldiers were transported to Lititz between December 1777 and August 1778. Hospitalized in the Moravian Brethren's House, they succumbed to their wounds or illnesses and were buried in unmarked graves because of the religious beliefs of the community. Their remains were discovered in 1932 and reinterred here after a memorial had been dedicated in 1930 to honor their sacrifice. Buried without written record of their identities, they became some of America's first unknown soldiers.
