The Monumental Moments program happens every two years and is a special program created by the City Of Hillsboro, the Hillsboro Historical Society, and this year TVCTV.ย  The unique program features the stories of prominent residents of our Valley who lived and worked here before finding their final resting place in the Hillsboro Pioneer Cemetary.ย  Portrayed by local actors, these stories give us all a look into the lives and the roads traveled by some of our earliest Pioneers.

Six Videos were produced during the COVID-19 crisis and they are all available on the Cities Web page and on YouTube!ย  These are very educational and the actors have done a wonderful job of bringing the people and their incredible stories to life!ย  We wish to thank the City, members of the Hillsboro Historical Society ,ย TVCTVย for the terrific work this past year!

This episode features Sarah Robinson Bagley and William Baldra.

    Hi. Some incorrect information in this video regarding William Baldra’s origin. I am a descendant of William’s brother, James Baldra (sometimes recorded as Baldera, Baldrey ect) and we are from King’s Lynn area, Norfolk. Definitely no connection with Yorkshire. Nice to see a video on the history of the pioneers. Thank you for your work.
