Ian LefkowitzEerie, somber, and as reminiscent of Europe as the United States. Worth a stop for anyone who loves respectful exploration.

TJ RussellIf you’re a history buff who loves old churches, check this place out. Robert Morris’ father is buried here too. It’s a shame the older section of the cemetery has fallen into extreme disrepair over the decades, but it does provide an eery feel to the place.

NANCY TOld cemetary with new burial sites too. What makes this cemetary unique are the ruins of the Old White Marsh Episcopal Church which was built before 1690 and burned in 1892. The brick floor and front wall and partial side wall are all that remain. The darkened brick looked eerie against the cloudy, gray skies. The lot is long with an unpaved lane running the length of the site. Definitely worth a stop if you're passing by, especially if you are a bit of a taphophile!
