- Laurel Hill Cemetery - Darkly Departed TourWest Laurel Hill Cemetery, Bala Cynwyd, PA
It's never too early to think about Halloween, and when you add Laurel Hill Cemetery into the mix, planning now is just about right. We'll take the "Darkly Departed" tour. From the website:
Sometimes the dearly departed are darkly departed. Join us for a walking tour to uncover those interred in the cemetery who took a darker path to the great beyond, whether by murder, mystery, or tragedy. Meet killers and their victims, beheaded train passengers, and a witch who promised to return from the dead. Meet those who embezzle, others who drowned, and sisters nicknamed Vampire and Viper. Not everyone buried at Laurel Hill West is resting in peace. Come along to uncover their dark past.
Adult general admission is $17 (+ 0.85 cent fee). There are discounts for seniors, students, and members of Friends of Laurel Hill. Tickets are available at https://laurelhillphl.com/event/darkly-departed/ Laurel Hill events sell out fast, especially in the fall. To avoid getting locked out, you'll want to buy your ticket ASAP.
The tour starts from Laurel Hill West, so please plan check out location and directions in advance.
