Inscription. This burial ground has served the surrounding area since the Civil War era. A walk among the markers takes you back in time. Here lie those who built our community. Some worked in logging, ice harvesting or farming. Some founded schools, churches, businesses or resorts. Some fought our nation's wars. And all shared our love of this Pocono paradise.
