Held at the
Hugh and Hannah Brady Homestead
424 S. Shady Rd. Newburg, PA 17240
The Brady Family Reunion will take place at the original Homestead of Hugh and Hannah Brady, Pioneers.
The theme of the weekend will be celebrating the 100-year anniversary of the setting of the memorial stone at the Middle Spring Churchyard
The Brady annals in volume 1 tell us that "In the early afternoon of August 20, 1926, there gathered within the stone walled grassy enclosure of the old pioneer Middle Spring churchyard some two hundred decendants and their friends to perpetuate the memory of Hugh and Hannah Brady, pioneers, and pay them loving tribute." It goes on to say, "At two o'clock the bugler's call rang out and echoed over the hillside causing heart and soul to vibrate with the thrill of realization of a long chereished hope and vision. The monument, screened by American Flags, was unveiled to the view of standing assemblage who remained silent in admiration."

On the Morning of June 13, 2026, we will gather at that very same memorial stone in the graveyard where our ancestors stood 100 years ago. Our ceremony will remember Hugh and Hannah and those who made this memorial possible, as we endeavor to instill a passion to future generations to carry these traditions forward to honor the rich patriotic legacy of our Brady Family.
