    Former State Rep.

  • Highland County Decoration Day 1888

    Wednesday, May 25, 2022 12:47 PM
    Ladies and gentlemen, as many of you know, Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day. From 1868 to 1970, it was observed on May 30. Since that time, it’s been observed on the last Monday in May. Math has never been my strong suit, but my calculator tells me the first Decoration Day was observed 154 years ago.
