    Many of the personas synonymous with Philadelphia’s Fishtown & Kensington neighborhoods now rest at Laurel Hill Cemetery – names such as Bromley, Cramp, Rotan, Vaughn, and Chandler, as well as other lesser known Fishtowners, but still major figures in Philadelphia history. Join us this summer evening as we tour their gravesites. The program will be led by Ken Milano, a Kensington born historian and genealogical researcher with over twenty years experience in the history of Philadelphia’s colonial neighborhoods of Fishtown and Kensington. Afterwards, join us back at the Cemetery Gatehouse for refreshments. Beer will be generously donated by Fishtown-based business, KD Financial Services. A diverse collection of Fishtown memorabilia will be on display for viewing over a drink or two. And, Ken will also be on hand to sign copies of his books, Remembering Kensington & Fishtown, The History of Penn Treaty Park and The History of the Kensington Soup Society.
