Lest We Forget: A Veterans Memorial Tour of Forest Cemetery

The Portage County Historical Society is proud to present a special commemorative event: "Lest We Forget – A Veterans Memorial Tour of Forest Cemetery." This meaningful walking tour will take place on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, at 6:00 PM—just ahead of Memorial Day weekend—and will pay tribute to those who served our nation by exploring veterans’ grave sites at Forest Cemetery in Stevens Point.

This tour is generously sponsored by Secure Heritage Insurance, a veteran-owned and operated business serving the community for 28 years.

Led by Jen Brilowski, creator of the popular Point of the Past Facebook page and an esteemed partner of the Portage County Historical Society, the tour offers a unique opportunity to learn about the area’s rich military history and the lives of those who made profound sacrifices in service to their country.

Attendees will hear moving stories of local veterans—from acts of heroism on the battlefield to the enduring impact their service had on the community. Each story helps preserve and honor the legacy of these remarkable individuals.

Tickets are $20 for Portage County Historical Society members and $25 for non-members. Veterans and active-duty military receive a discounted rate of $15 per ticket.

Join Jen Brilowski and the Portage County Historical Society in honoring the service and sacrifice of our local heroes. Together, we’ll remember their stories and ensure they are never forgotten.
