    Audio Tour of "“Building a City of the Dead: The Creation and Expansion of Philadelphia’s Laurel Hill Cemetery” by Curator Aaron Wunsch

    Laurel Hill Cemetery is among the most celebrated – and most densely populated – swaths of Greater Philadelphia. Beneath seventy-eight acres of lawn, trees, and monuments lie some 70,000 bodies – a sprawling and silent subdivision that took shape over nearly two centuries. Today's expanses of stone and sod testify to the success of the original vision while making it hard to decipher. Listen to Curator Aaron Wunsch's audio tour of the gallery exhibition: http://www.librarycompany.org/digitalmedia/Aaron_TourLHC.mp3 View the corresponding PowerPoint here: http://www.librarycompany.org/digitalmedia/LHCTourWithAaronWunsch.pdf ... or follow along while browsing the online exhibition: http://www.librarycompany.org/laurelhill/index.htm
