The history of soldiers in DeWitt County is the theme of a documentary to be released this weekend at the DeWitt County Museum.
Tony Long is the producer and director of The Soldiers Plot to be released this weekend in a special showing at the DeWitt County Museum. He says it follows the stories of DeWitt County soldiers buried at the soldiers plot in a DeWitt County cemetery.
Long indicates the documentary tracks DeWitt County soldiers all the way back to the Civil War and highlights some very prominent players in DeWitt County history.
Long has family in DeWitt County, and in fact is a descendant of one of the soldiers they highlight, and also a background in film production with the History Channel. He indicates he followed the leads of DeWitt County Museum Director and local historian Joey Woolridge and did some research and started putting the pieces together.
There is a premier showing of The Soldiers Plot at the DeWitt County Museum Saturday evening at 6:30 pm. Admittance is $10 for the 90 minute documentary. Get more information at CHMooreHomestead.org or find the CH Moore Homestead Facebook page.
