'Grave Tales,' Cemetery Walking Tour, Comes To Norristown Area

Join the W.S. Hancock Society as we once again traverse this unparalleled graveyard that spans the centuries. If you’re a follower of Grave Tales, you’re sure to be wowed by the stories, the headstone iconography and symbolism that this small but mighty churchyard offers.

You will also visit the church to hear the unique history of the little spot that the very early, Swedish settlers called New Sweden.

Our daytime tour begins at 12 noon leaving from the church hall which is on the left as you enter the grounds and our evening tours will begin at 6:00 pm and then every half hour until the last tour at 8:30 pm. While you wait for your tour to begin, drink in a presentation on unique headstones and burial places to whet your appetite.

Please dress warmly, wear comfortable and sturdy walking shoes and bring a flashlight or lantern. We are NOT a haunted attraction.

Our aim is to educate while allowing your imagination to ignite your senses.

Church address is 740 River Road, Swedesburg, PA with parking on Colbert Street. Admission $6.00 for adults - $4.00 for students/seniors. Visit us on Facebook.
