Revolutionary War  Unknown Soldier Memorial Located on Scenic Drive, off Route 590 in Downtown Lackawaxen.
According to Wikipedia, on July 22, 1779, Lackawaxen patriots answered a call from American Revolutionary General General George Washington, who led the Continental Army  to defend against British Captain Joseph Brandt, a Mohawk Indian, who led of raiding and intelligence gathering force of Iroquois  Indians and British loyalists intent on securing the Upper Delaware Valley. In the battle, Brandt 's men defeated a force of Continental Army Minutemen from  Orange and Sullivan County towns and those from Lackawaxen Township.

The British victory was short lived as Washington deployed a forced three weeks later to regain the strategic advantage in the Delaware Valley and north of it. But, the Minisink battlefield was so remote and difficult to reach that most of the bodies of Minutemen were not recovered until 40 years. However, one or more Lackawaxen families forded the river, recovered the remains of one local soldier, and buried him at  the above site. 

The site was discovered in 1847. Since then, an annual ceremony to commemorate that soldier and others from Lackawaxen and nearby areas who gave their lives in the American Revolution is celebrated every year.
