About this event

Join us for a tour of historic Leverington and Roxborough Baptist Church cemeteries. Our leader will be Don Simon who has extensive experience in conducting this tour.

The site started as a burial location on the farm for Levering and his family and after 1744, became known as the Roxborough Burial Ground. It became part of the Roxborough Baptist Church but ended its connection with the church and was incorporated as Leverington Cemetery Company in 1857.

Sturdy shoes are recommended as we will be walking on uneven ground.

The event is free for Village members and the public. It is hosted by Village on the Ridge and East Fall Village. Registration is recommended so that we can notify you of cancellation due to inclement weather.
