The Lansdale Historical Society offered a great tour of the Lansdale Mausoleum and Cemetery today -- no, not a scary tour geared to Halloween, but rather an informative outing that truly was fascinating.
The mausoleum is always locked, so you have to wait until another tour may be scheduled. But you can stroll the cemetery anytime. And if you're looking for an ancestor, you can access a clickable GIS map at Lansdale Borough's website, www.lansdale.org
On the left side of the home page, click on MAPS. Then scroll to the bottom of the map page and click on the cemetery map.
Dick Shearer shares his wealth of knowledge about the cemetery residents.
After traveling back from the Czech Republic, we reached Munich again in the evening. That left us the following day to take in a few more sites, revisit some favorites, do a little shopping and just drink in the experiences of the last two weeks....
We also walked past the huge "fairgrounds" where, in just a few weeks, Oktoberfest would reign supreme. Amusement rides were being installed and you could see the huge beer halls that would soon be bursting with merry-makers...
It was fun to check out a few department stores and just enjoy the day...
Time for some refreshment...
The following day it was time to catch the plane back to the states. What an amazing journey it was...
