NEW CASTLE, N.Y. — Hillary Clinton marched in the New Castle Memorial Day parade on Monday morning, an event that has become an annual tradition in the town that she and former President Bill Clinton now call their home.

The Westchester County town includes the hamlet of Chappaqua, where the Clintons live.

Residents welcomed the Clintons and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo with signs and cheers as they walked briskly through town on a muggy and gray day.

‘‘Love it!’’ Hillary Clinton told a woman who asked whether she was enjoying being a part of the quaint festivities. ‘‘It’s my favorite parade.’’

The bagpipes played and the band marched. Children in soccer jerseys waited on the sidewalks waving American flags. Teens scrambled to snap selfies as the former first family walked by.

As they marched, the Clintons waved and smiled but did not stop to greet passersby.

In the midst of a sea of blue Hillary for America signs, at least one man proudly trailed the parade decked out from head to toe in Donald Trump memorabilia.

Nevertheless, John Nadler, 63, seemed to be eager to take photos of the Clintons and was unfazed as Clinton fans frowned. Nadler said he wanted ‘‘to let people know that there’s more than one choice.’’

‘‘It’s Hillary country,’’ Maxine Margo, 61, called out to Nadler. ‘‘Sorry. No room for Trump dudes in this area. Although it’s a free country.’’

‘‘I'm a Hillary fan,’’ she added. ‘‘It’s in the middle of this whole thing, but I'm just encouraged and hopeful that she will be madam president.’’

The Clintons have marched in the parade before, and resident Kelly Aidekman says she views them ‘‘as if they were any other neighbors.’’

Elsewhere in New York, a historic preservation group held a ceremony Monday honoring four unknown American soldiers who died in the Colonial era, the Associated Press reported.

A monument in Lake George Battlefield Park in the village of Lake George marks the place where the unknown soldiers were reburied after their remains were unearthed in 1931. The bodies were found by a road crew that was working in the area.

It’s believed the soldiers served in a Massachusetts regiment that was ambushed in a ravine by the French and Indians in September 1755.

Also on Monday, Saratoga National Historical Park hosted a program to honor New Hampshire Continental Army and militia soldiers who died in the two battles fought at Saratoga in September and October 1777. British forces surrendered to the Americans in what many consider the turning point of the Revolutionary War.

Park Ranger Eric Schnitzer said nearly 500 Americans were killed or wounded at Saratoga.
