Visit Their Graves

We’re on a mission to learn about the American Revolution through the eyes of the people who made it possible.

Visit Their Graves

This project began in January 2026 in honor of America’s 250th Anniversary. I wanted to visit the graves of 250 people who shaped the American Revolution and share them with you. I started in the South, working to highlight the contribubtions of Southerners in the fight for independence, which is often overlooked.

A project by Kelly Gomez of The Forgotten South

My name is Kelly Gomez, a historian based in North Carolina.

I strive to find and share the stories you haven’t heard of the people who made the American Revolution possible.

Join me as we visit their graves to pay our respects.

This project is made possible by readers like you. I hope you’ll consider supporting these efforts so I can continue to visit these Patriots’ final resting places and bring their stories to you.
