Laurel Hill Cemetery PA1126 |

Founded in 1838 and designed by Scottish architect John Notman, this was the nation's second major rural cemetery. With its rolling landscape, horticultural plantings, and eclectic architecture, it offered a romantic alternative to the crowded urban environment. Overlooking the Schuylkill River, 3.5 miles north of center-city, it had grown by 1861 to 78 acres. This cemetery was designated a National Historical Landmark in 1998.
3822 Ridge Avenue, Philadelphia. Philadelphia County Pennsylvania.
