Novi Historical Commission - Did You Know?
The Novi Historical Commission hosts an annual Holiday Wreath Laying Ceremony to honor Veterans buried at local Novi cemeteries. It's quite remarkable to see how many veterans who fought for our country are interred at these two historical places. There are veterans from as far back as the revolutionary war, all the way up to the Vietnam War buried there. Some of Novi's local Cub Scout Troops, along with a few of the generous sponsors of the event, helped members of the Commission lay the wreaths on Saturday, November 21. It was a beautiful, sunny fall day! -Novi Historical Commission
