A virtual tour of the Historic Easton Cemetery in Easton, PA

In 1848 Dr. Traill Green of Easton conducted a tour of communities in Pennsylvania to determine how they cared for their dead. Dr. Green and leading citizens of Easton began to organize efforts to establish a public cemetery the following year. Prior to that time, the dead were buried in small family or church grounds in unregulated conditions. The creation of a large public cemetery would release land for new construction and development as well as provide a picturesque and regulated sanitary place of burial for the community. The beautiful landscaping of the Easton Cemetery grounds made it an example of the earliest formal park-like environs in the Easton region. Easton Cemetery was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Unlike many historic cemeteries, we are still an active cemetery, and burials still occur on a regular basis. www.thehistoriceastoncemetery.org
