Mount Moriah is the largest cemetery in Pennsylvania, and home to some of our city’s finest grave architecture.Trees and vines have engulfed the gravestones in some areas, giving the place the atmosphere of a lost city in the jungle. Almost every style of tomb can be found here, from Egyptian Revival to Art Nouveau. The cemetery is also a window into the lost world of the Victorian middle class. Guests will learn how cemeteries met the need for leisure and respectability in 19th century Philadelphia. We will also learn how the Freemasons and disease shaped middle-class life.
