Established in 1836, Philadelphia's Laurel Hill Cemetery was one of the earliest rural cemeteries in America. The picturesque views and outstanding horticulture, along with sculptures and monuments designed by notable artists and architects -- attracted thousands of visitors. Laurel Hill entered a new century as a revitalized and relevant institution. Once again, the cemetery is regarded as an important part of the community, a worth destination for visitors, and a place to share in the stories of the men and women whose lives shaped both Philadelphia and the nation.
