    Laurel Hill Cemetery was founded in 1836 on bluffs overlooking the Schuylkill River just as the nation’s Industrial Revolution was getting underway. Technological innovation made for the rapid transition from a mercantile to an industrial economy, and the ranks of wealthy Philadelphians expanded as well. Although a number of them made their eternal rest in what has come to be called "Millionaires

    Row," they are, in fact, to be found throughout the cemetery. Learn their intriguing stories on this walking tour led by Richard A. Sauers that will visit gravesites of the city’s early millionaires.
