In 1836, architect Peter Notman designed one of Philadelphia's first great public landscapes. The only cemetery on the National Register of Historic Places, Laurel Hill is the second oldest garden-style cemetery in America.
Following a buffet dinner at 6 pm or 7:30 pm, we will have a guided tour by flashlight of the many elaborate gravestones, obelisks & mausoleums that create an outdoor museum of America’s Victorian heritage. Actors will re-enact the lives of select people at their graves.
Bring a flashlight and BYOB. Costumes are encouraged. Anyone dressed in a full costume receives a $10 gift certificate to The Black Cat. Rain or Shine.
