Located at the corner of Church and Market Streets, Nisky Hill Cemetery was founded in 1849. Owned by the Bethlehem Area Moravians, Nisky Hill is the final home for thousands of Bethlehemites of various faiths and origins.
In this tour, you will explore the burials and histories of dozens of war heroes, artists, and businessmen, and visit a few of the more unusual monuments found within the cemetery grounds.
This tour is self-guided and can be followed by downloading the tour on to your mobile device.
Serving as vital spaces for honoring and remembering those who have passed, cemeteries provide a connection to our shared history and personal heritage. They offer a place for reflection and grieving, allowing individuals and communities to pay their respects and find closure. Additionally, cemeteries hold historical and cultural significance, preserving the stories and traditions of the past for future generations.
From simple flat gravestones to elaborate tombs, monuments, and mausoleums, our self-guided walking tours of God’s Acre and Nisky Hill explore the history and iconography of the burials in each cemetery.
