    Laurel Hill Cemetery is among the most celebrated – and most densely populated – swaths of greater Philadelphia. Beneath seventy-eight acres of lawn, trees and monuments lie some 70,000 bodies – a sprawling and silent subdivision that took shape over nearly two centuries.
    This collaborative exhibition celebrates the 175th anniversary of the founding of Laurel Hill Cemetery, and can be viewed at The Library Company of Philadelphia through April 2011. The Cemetery, which is located at 3822 Ridge Avenue, is open daily for visitation, tours and recreational use.
