The Historical Society of Montgomery County executive director Barry Rauhauser will lead a guided walking tour of Historic Montgomery Cemetery on June 14 to watch the rising of the full moon.
With almost 6,000 known burials, the Historic Montgomery Cemetery holds the remains of some of the most prominent citizens, veterans, and reformers in the country and nation. From five Civil War generals to many captains of industry, it tells the story of the nation through the lives it represents.
The guided tour will begin at 8 p.m. After the tour, stay to view the rising of the full “strawberry” moon at 9:17 p.m. (In North America, the harvesting of strawberries in June gives the month’s full moon its name.)
The entrance to Montgomery Cemetery is at the end of Hartranft Avenue, off West Main Street in Norristown. Parking for the event will be available inside the cemetery gates.
To purchase tickets ($10 per person) and/or for more information contact the Historical Society at 610-272-0297 or visit hsmcpa.org.
