Mary Jo Daley's Senior Fair this morning where vendors from state, federal and local agencies, veterans’ organizations, and community organizations came together to provide valuable information for seniors. Thank you, Rep. Daley, for your efforts to educate and offer resources for the elder community.

We’re also volunteering at one of our favorite events of the year – the New Horizons Senior Center volunteer appreciation luncheon. It’s always a delight to spend time with their members!

Happy Mother's Day to the moms that are still with us, the expectant mothers, and the mothers who are missed every day. 💖

Mother's Day was founded by Anna Jarvis (1864-1948), who originally issued personal Mother's Day messages to the press in honor of her mother. On May 10, 1908, the first Mother’s Day was marked in Philly (Wanamaker’s auditorium) and in 1914, the Mother’s Day resolution passed both houses of Congress and Woodrow Wilson issued the first Mother’s Day proclamation. Jarvis is laid to rest at Laurel Hill West.

We are delighted to announce the completion of the exterior rehabilitation of our historic Gatehouse, which is the last remaining original building at Laurel Hill East. We celebrated this monumental feat with a ribbon cutting ceremony to officially announce the conclusion of this elaborate project.

The rehabilitation of the Gatehouse represents another milestone in the stewardship of Laurel Hill as a cultural and educational resource. Improvements include new restrooms, exterior lighting and uplighting, new paint and windows, and the restoration of the original entrance gates underneath the iconic archway.

We are grateful to all involved who recognized the importance of this architectural gem and supported this monumental effort, including the design, construction, and management teams who worked laboriously on this year-long project to make our vision a reality.

This would not have been possible without the financial support from the Historic Preservation Fund of the National Park Service, Department of the Interior , The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program Grant, the William B. Dietrich Foundation, and the Laurel Hill Cemetery Company.

We invite you to visit and appreciate the grandeur of this iconic building. You can learn more about its history and peruse unearthed artifacts in our new museum exhibit!
