    Curiosity can get the best of many visitors to Laurel Hill, as they wander past the Cemetery’s ornate and imposing mausolea… What sights and sounds, scents and secrets dwell behind those doors and walls of impenetrable granite? Do the spirits of those who rest within infuse their tombs with an aura of yesteryear; or are these still and quiet sanctuaries immune to the passing of time? How does our world – that of the living – appear looking outward? Is our gaze returned, unbeknownst to us, as we pass by in our own journey to a common end? Learn the many mysteries of mausolea firsthand at Laurel Hill Cemetery. This lecture and walking tour will be led by History Professor, Dr. David Horwitz. Dave has been leading tours through Laurel Hill for over 35 years! It will conclude with cookies and refreshments.

    Please note that photography is NOT permitted on this tour, out of respect for the individuals whose resting places we will enter.
