This year's cemetery tour will take you back to where it all began!
Join us for a tour of the "City Burial Grounds" - Lancaster's first municipal cemetery and present-day Firehouse Park. This tour has been a couple of years in the making and we are excited to provide the history and introduce you to some of the people who are STILL buried there!
