I believe Palmer cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in Philadelphia. There's a lot of history there! Has old, loose & uneven cobblestone walkways, so be careful. I was lucky to catch it open today. I don't remember seeing any hours posted.
This cemetary is hidden in a neighborhood and is very old in the fact that alot of people that are burried here were the ones who founded fishtown and kensington. There is revolutionary war heroes located here and all diffrent war vets too. Theres lots of tall old trees on the grounds and lots of diffrent types of grave markers with statues and all sorts of crypt looking grave stones!
Every time I go to the cemetery it is CLOSED. There today again at 1:30 pm. Why?
Great place. Im Dieing to get in this place! if your born, raised and still live here or you and anyone who was born in fishtown should get first calls.
This is a very beautiful cemetery. It is peaceful and enjoyable
