General George Gordon Meade, David Rittenhouse, Henry Deringer, Peter Widener—the list of Laurel Hill Cemetery's renowned and remembered men goes on and o...but what about the ladies of Laurel Hill? What about the women buried here? This program is all about them—from the more familiar, such as Sarah Josepha Hale, Godey's Lady's Book editor, and Elizabeth Hutter, Civil War nurse—to the less well-known, but equally important, like the writer, Lucy Hamilton Hooper, the archeologist, Sarah Yorke Stevenson, and Mary Engle Pennington, whose work made it possible to transport fresh milk—and later, beer—nationwide. Join us as we remember and celebrate the achievements of these remarkable women, among so many others. The Ladies of the Hill, a walking tour of Laurel Hill Cemetery, will take place on Saturday, September 27th at 2:00pm. The tour will be guided by Carol Yaster, independent researcher, archivist and board member of the Friends of Laurel Hill Cemetery. The cost is $15 per person, $12 for members, $8 for students, and children are free. For more information, visit www.thelaurelhillcemetery.org or call us 215.228.8200.
