Scranton, PA: Explore Historic Forest Hill Cemetery and Find Who in "Jane Jacobs’s First City" Is Buried There
Join the cemetery’s caretaker and archivist, Norma Reese, for a fascinating tour of Scranton’s first landscaped cemetery, founded in 1870. Within the beautiful grounds overlooking the city, you will be introduced to some of the 18,000 people laid to rest. African Americans and Caucasians, coal barons and miners, and immigrants from the world over have always been buried side by side here. In person. Author of "Jane Jacobs’s First City," Glenna Lang, will be on the walk.
