Laurel Hill Cemetery
from TwistedPhilly
Episode 33 – Originally Published 2017 When it opened in 1839, Laurel Hill Cemetery was one of only two rural cemeteries in the country. It solved a significant problem in Philadelphia: overcrowded cemeteries in within the city, some so overcrowded it was nearly impossible to find the final resting places of loved ones. Laurel Hill is one of the most tranquil, picturesque and historical landmarks in the city, and it’s on the National Historic Registry. Whether you’re visiting for a paranormal investigation, a black tie gala fund raiser, or just sitting under the shade of a tree, reading a book, there’s so much to learn about this magnificent landmark.
