About the event
Presented by Tina Charles, Becky Anstine, and Maxine Cook, this program explores the rich and often overlooked history of Mount Pisgah Cemetery.
We’ll explore:
• When and why Mount Pisgah was formed
• Why there are so many Lancaster County connections
• Who the oldest person buried in the cemetery is
• And the remarkable story of a woman who helped freedom seekers, fought Native Americans, knew General Custer, and was in Wrightsville when the Confederates attacked the town
