    If you have an interest in publishing or journalism, than this is the tour for you! Laurel Hill is the location where all of the city’s major newspapers are all brought together in one place. Our cemetery contains the final resting places of not just a few but all of the publishers of Philadelphia’s major newspapers. This tour, led by Dr. J. Joseph Edgette, will visit their graves and tell the stories of success, failure and intrigue surrounding these influential and powerful men. Publishers of the Philadelphia Ledger, Inquirer, Daily News, and Evening Bulletin will be among the major newspaper Czars included along with a few lesser known surprises. Join us for a tour that is sure to give a whole new meaning to the word “deadline.”
