There is a guided tour dealing with the American Revolution at the Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester. There are a number of luminaries buried there. Including Susan B. Anthony (women's rights leader), Frederick Douglas (antislavery advocate), and Col. Nathaniel Rochester, the founder of the city in the early 1800s.
There is also a section in the Mount Hope cemetery called, "Revolutionary Hill" where a number of soldiers who took part in the Sullivan Expedition of 1789 against the Seneca Indians are burried. As a result of General Sullivan's expedetion – which was carried out under the direct order of George Washington – the Senecas lost most of their land in Western New York. This land was then partitioned out in land grants to veterans of the Revolution in payment for their service (in lieu of monetary compensation, because the new federal and state governments were broke at the end of the war). As a consequence, there were grave sites of veterans of the Revolution to be found throughout the region, including at Mount Hope Cemetery.
