The Lower Merion Historical Society is sponsoring an open house featuring four of the township’s earliest cemeteries. Though small in size, these cemeteries remain active burial sites and reflect diverse burial traditions and monument styles. Registrants will receive historical information and directions to each cemetery. Representatives from each cemetery will be available during the open house to greet visitors and answer questions. Points of interest will be marked, but we encourage you to explore and discover what piques your curiosity. Cemeteries featured:
