Twilight at Laurel Hill: History, Film & Champagne

Step into one of Philadelphia’s most storied landscapes for a private twilight tour at Laurel Hill Cemetery — the first cemetery in the United States to be designated a National Historic Landmark.

Spanning 75 breathtaking acres and recognized as an accredited arboretum, Laurel Hill is home to more than 6,000 trees and shrubs representing over 700 species, making it as botanically remarkable as it is historically significant.

As the sun sets, explore grand monuments, sweeping views, and the rich stories of those laid to rest here — including:

• Author Sarah Josepha Hale, who penned Mary Had a Little Lamb

• Several Titanic survivors

• Phillies legend Harry Kalas Jr.

• And other notable figures woven into Philadelphia’s legacy

Film lovers will recognize Laurel Hill from iconic scenes in Rocky and Transformers, adding cinematic intrigue to an already unforgettable setting.

This private evening experience for up to eight guests includes four bottles of fine champagne, making it equal parts cultural salon and atmospheric celebration.

Winner may choose Laurel Hill East or Laurel Hill West. Date to be mutually agreed upon.

An unforgettable evening where history, mystery, and champagne converge — this is not just a tour, it’s an experience your guests will talk about for years.
