Field Trip Potential
I recently read about the Museum of Mourning Art. It's close to Philadelphia, in Drexel Hill, a nearby suburb. I haven't been there yet, but it seems like it's definitely worthy of a trip.
Hello Philly GY. I toured the Museum of Mourning Art in Oct 2008. I also have ancestors (Russell) buried in the surrounding Arlington Cemetery of Drexel Hill. I posted a blog entry at: http://travelstwo.blogspot.com/2008/10/museum-of-mourning-art.html
This would be worth a day trip from Lancaster! I think I want to go! Thanks for posting the information about it! Incidentally, everyone I have buried in Philly was buried in the no-longer-there Monument Cemetery. That one is a real shame!
I love family history, searching for your past, rituals, old things...including cemeteries. I believe it's important to preserve what's gone before while looking toward the future.

The museum is definitely worth a visit.
