An Overview of the Park   Patriots of the Revolutionary War Memorial Park in Colonial Fredericksburg will be a national destination when it becomes home to a series of monuments honoring all patriots who served during the American Revolution. The park will be located in the Town of Patterson, New York, on the site of the 1778 Continental Army's Fredericksburg encampment. Thousands of Patriot Soldiers made this there home as they camped here from September 26 through November 27, 1778 under the leadership of Gen. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Col. John Lamb, as well as the Marquis de Lafayette from France, Gen. Casimir Pulaski & Thaddeus Kosciuszco from Poland, and Baron Frederick von Steuben from Prussia The park will also be situated along Route 311, near Route 22. These two routes were the main Military Crossroads which linked New England with the rest of the colonies during the American Revolution. The militia marched on these roads in 1777, under the command of Col. Henry Ludington, as they headed to stop the British, who had just raided Danbury. They had been summoned by the all night ride of 16 year old Sybil Ludington. Historians will thrill to see one of the most exciting chapters in American History come alive with a series of larger than life-size figures honoring the variety of people, from all 13 colonies, who served as patriots in the Revolutionary War. Five figures will honor the spirit of the five types of patriots whose combined effort brought freedom and independence to America. The Continental Soldier - honors the patriots who served as professional soldiers in America's first Armed Forces. The Citizen Soldier - honors the patriots from every town and hamlet who worked their farms and stores but responded to the call and grabbed their muskets at a moments notice to defend their country. The Civilian Patriot - honors civilians from all walks of life who served the cause of freedom whenever and wherever they were needed, some as wives and children, some as merchants and financiers and others as spies.  The Committed Native - honors those brave Native Americans who were drawn into the conflict yet fought bravely in all theatres of the Revolution.  The Soldier of Color - honors the thousands of freed slaves and free born Black Americans who fought with distinction side-by-side in an integrated army with their White counterparts from Bunker Hill till Yorktown.  The Counter Forces - A sixth figure will honor the Counter Forces as represented by the Lone Loyalist. These were neighbors who remained loyal to their mother country with patriotic devotion, but whose cause did not triumph. There is no place in America where such a park exists with larger than life sculptures honoring all the different types of people who served as patriots in the War for Independence.

About the Sculptor - Michael Keropian Each sculpture in the park is based on careful historical research so every detail, down to the markings on the muskets and stitching on the seams is historically accurate. Artists will love to see the inspiring works of art prepared by a very talented local sculptor, Michael Keropian, who is destined to become one of the most outstanding sculptors in America.   Visitors & Interpretive Center   We would like to build a Visitors & Interpretive Center on site, along Route 311.  The Center would feature historical and educational multi-media displays about Colonial Fredericksburg, including the Great Swamp and Wappinger Indians.   The Great Swamp - The park will be located adjacent to the Great Swamp, a historically and environmentally important resource.  Great care will be taken to preserve and protect the Great Swamp.  Interpretive programs will be provided.   Wappinger Indians - Colonial Fredericksburg was part of the ancestral home of the Wappinger Indians.  Educational Programs will feature the role of the Wappinger in American History.
