Bethel Burying Ground Project

In July of this year, The Friends of Bethel Burying Ground Coalition submitted paperwork to the Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Commission (PHMC) as the first step in having Bethel Burying Ground placed on the National Register of Historic Places which is administered by the National Park Service. This application was the work of several members of the Coalition and Dr. Aaron Wunsch of the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Design whose generous assistance was critical. There is a hearing by PHMC in February of 2015 to examine the viability of the Coalition’s application. If approved it will go to the National Park Service for review and judgment.
