Cemetery Tours Planned At Ephrata Cloister

Historic Ephrata Cloister will host "A Walk in God's Acre Cemetery" tours on Sundays, Oct. 23 and 30. The tours, led by volunteers, including the Student Historians, will begin every 20 minutes starting at 2 p.m., with the last tour at 3:20 p.m.

Attendees will learn about stories of Ephrata's past. For example, they will learn that a song written by community founder Conrad Beissel appears on a headstone dated 1861 and that the cemetery was once level with the street.

These tours require a general admission ticket plus a timed cemetery tour ticket. To purchase tickets, visit https://bit.ly/3SvNGX8 or call 717-733-6600. Space is limited, and Ephrata Cloister recommends purchasing tickets in advance. Individuals who need special assistance or accommodations should call in advance to discuss their needs.
