Mt Moriah Cemetery Tour on October 18 at 10 am

Join Bill Warwick on a walk through time on nearly 200 rolling acres of secluded, and largely unknown Victorian-era rustic green space situated in Southwest Philadelphia and Yeadon, Delaware County. Chartered in 1855 and the final resting place for an estimated two hundred thousand persons, we will walk and discuss the history of the cemetery through time and visit notable locations on the property. As a level 1 arboretum, Mount Moriah is sought out by historians, photographers, bird watchers, ghost hunters, artists, and people simply looking to escape the urban core. 

Meet inside the main gate at 6201 Kingsessing Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19142. Parking will be available along the grass to the right. (map)

Sturdy shoes and long pants are recommended as this tour will require walking on some grassy hills and dirt roads.

A portion of the tour proceeds will be donated to Friends of Mount Moriah Cemetery.
