Laurel Hill Cemetery (historic garden cemetery)
By Seeker
Laurel Hill Cemetery was established in 1836 as one of the first rural garden cemeteries in the United States and is noted for its 19th-century funerary architecture and landscape design. The cemetery contains the graves of numerous notable Philadelphians, sculptural monuments, and winding, tree‑lined paths along the Schuylkill River. It operates as both an active cemetery and a historic site that offers tours and educational programs about its history and art.
