With the 250th anniversary of the Constitution approaching, I wanted to share something I’ve been working on quietly over the past few years.
I’ve now scanned more than 200 Revolutionary War veterans’ gravestones throughout New England to help digitally preserve them for future generations.
This short video shows the gravestone of Benjamin Tallmadge in East Cemetery, Litchfield, CT.
Tallmadge was George Washington’s intelligence director and the organizer of the Culper Spy Ring during the Revolutionary War. He later served as a Congressman from Connecticut.
In many cemeteries, I scan the entire grounds and then isolate individual stones so they can be studied and preserved in detail.
If you’d like to explore this stone yourself, here is the interactive 3D version:

It will open directly to the model.
These stones have stood for over two centuries. Digital preservation ensures their stories remain accessible long after erosion takes its toll.
