Eric is continuing to explore The Woodlands Cemetery in Philadelphia, giving us a bit more on its history and stories of notable “residents.” 💀

Learn how a speculative dentist became embroiled in the fall of the Second French Empire, and how “strangers” to Philadelphia would have been introduced to the sprawling burial ground itself. 🪦 Plus, visit the graves of a noted soup magnate and the engraver behind some of America’s most iconic portraits.

As a reminder, these #rarebooks (and many more!) are available to browse at the Midtown Scholar! Ask our staff about George’s Rare Books Room, where you can freely browse volumes from the 18th century on.

Have old books to part with? 📚 We have open book buying hours EVERY Thursday from 2pm-6pm at our main store (1302 N. 3rd Street in Harrisburg).
