Findley Lake Memorial Day Parade and Program

A Tribute to Town of Mina Revolutionary War Patriots


May 26, 2025

The Parade kicks off at 9:30AM

and the program follows at the gazebo.


The Memorial Day Parade at Findley Lake will begin at 9:30 am on Monday, May 26th starting at the Community Center and finishing at the gazebo downtown. A special program will be held at the gazebo immediately following the parade. In addition to honoring Gold Star Veterans (killed in action), local veterans and active military will be recognized for their service to our country.


The program will also include the dedication and unveiling of a Memorial Patriot Marker that honors two local veterans from the Revolutionary War – Alexander Findley and Josiah Morse. Paul Fardink, U.S. Army Ret. Lt. Col and member of the Chautauqua County Sons of the American Revolution, will speak about the Patriot Marker Program. He was the motivating force behind securing the patriot marker for the Town of Mina. The marker was funded by a grant from the William Pomeroy Foundation and in the coming days will be erected at the Findley Lake Cemetery (near the blinking light) by the Town of Mina Highway Department.
