We invite you to pay tribute to the remarkable courage of Dr. Eleazer Root, a distinguished veteran of the American Revolutionary War.  After serving his country, Dr. Eleazer Root dedicated 48 years to the practice of medicine before embarking on a new journey to Manchester, Michigan, while it was still a territory.  This special ceremony will feature performances by local musicians, a color guard presentation and speeches from distinguished guests, all in recognition of Dr. Root's legacy and the enduring contributions of Revolutionary War veterans.  If you are a descendant of Dr. Root we would be honored to hear from you and include your family in this historic commemoration.
