At a recent meeting, the Board of Selectmen declared the Town of Swansea a
Purple Heart Community. Swansea will now be on the Purple Heart Trail, visited and celebrated by Veterans from across the nation. Local celebrations are anticipated to take place in August, on or around Purple Heart Day. The Board took this action in conjunction with Veterans' Agent Kevin Serpa who will work with the Highway Department to install signage at the entrances to town recognizing the special designation.
