Did you know Hummelstown Cemetery was established in 1859, during America’s Victorian era? 🌿

At that time, cemeteries were shaped by the rural garden movement, designed as park-like landscapes filled with trees, winding paths, and monuments rich with symbolism. They weren’t just places of burial, but spaces for reflection, remembrance, and community.

More than 165 years later, Hummelstown Cemetery remains an active cemetery and a place where stories continue to be written.

✨ Find out more about the grounds and the people buried here at our 4th Annual Candlelight Tour, Monday, Sept. 29 at 6 PM
