Sinners, Scandals & Suicides will take place on Sunday, October 12th at 2:00pm. The cost is $15.00 per person, $12 for members, $8 for students and children are free. The tour will be guided by Thomas Keels, author of well-known local histories including Philadelphia Graveyards and Cemeteries, and Forgotten Philadelphia: Lost Architecture of the Quaker City. Laurel Hill is one of Philadelphia's premier historic sites, and one of the only cemeteries in the United States to be honored as a National Historic Landmark, where countless people of both local and national fame are buried. Its natural beauty renders it a bucolic retreat nestled within the city's limits overlooking the Schuylkill River. The cemetery's beautiful green space is further complimented by the breathtaking art, sculpture and architecture that can be found here. Laurel Hill is located at 3822 Ridge Avenue in Philadelphia. For information, please call 215-228-8200, or visit www.thelaurelhillcemetery.org.
