Nineteenth-Century Notables in Mount Hope Cemetery
About this Event

Mount Hope Cemetery began as an unsegregated cemetery in the 1830s for the City of Rochester. Nowadays, it is still a working cemetery that has become a historical treasure chest filled with the hopes, dreams and longings of 375,000 permanent residents and those whose lives they touched.

South Wedge author Rose O'Keefe will introduce you to a variety of people including human rights advocates Susan B. Anthony, Frederick Douglass, Lars Larson, Isaac and Amy Post, and Rev. Thomas James; Louis H. Morgan, Father of American Anthropology; City founder, Nathanial Rochester; and Silas Cornell, the cemetery's surveyor.

Get to know local history in a casual setting.
