Hammond Hometown Heroes
Veteran Banner Project Press Release 4
Attention Hammond Residents!
We now have 40 Hometown Hero Veteran Banners hanging in the Hammond village and Chippewa Bay.
Did you know! In our little town of Hammond, we have had over 320 veteran heroes serve in wars and conflicts over the years. And that doesn’t include those who served who have family connections to Hammond or have been long term seasonal residents.
If you know anyone or any family connected to area veterans, please pass the word, or have them contact our Hammond Historical Museum or our banner committee. We want to honor these heroes!
We are now accepting new applications for more veteran banners! These will be hung in the spring 2027.
If you have a deceased family veteran or know a veteran who fits the guidelines below, please let us know. Applications and details for ordering a banner will be available in several local locations
including Hammond Historical Museum, the Town of Hammond offices, and Hammond Central School. You may also find applications on the following online locations: Town of Hammond website, Hammond Historical Museum website, the pages of the town, the museum, Hammond Memories, and Citizen’s cable page. You can request an application by email or mail at the addresses below.

September 26: Free Fishing Day on National Hunting and Fishing Day
New York’s next Free Fishing Day will be on Saturday, September 26, which coincides with the annual National Hunting and Fishing Day. During NYS Free Fishing Days residents and non-residents can fish the freshwaters of New York without a freshwater fishing license. This is the perfect time of year to get outdoors and cast a line as fish become more eager to bite and find food before winter arrives. As a reminder, during Free Fishing Days all other freshwater fishing regulations remain in effect.
