I was actually there during the dedication, and there were more than just two groups coming together to honor Rufus Putnam. It was such a great ceremony and every organization that came together to honor him should be recognized as well. There was the Freemasons of Ohio which includes several organizations, Harmar Lodge (which was having a ceremony after that one to dedicate there lodge and rename it Rufus Putnam Lodge), American Union Lodge, Eastern Star, Shriners, Scotish Rites, Knights Templar, Sons and Saughters of the American Revolution. Rufus Putnams' history is really interesting, and is not as well known as it should be in our area. Our young people should learn a little more about our areas history as well as other history.
