Leverington Cemetery, located on Ridge Avenue between Lyceum Avenue and
Conarroe Street, may be one of the oldest running cemeteries in the nation. WHYY once named it one of the most actively documented locations for
apparitions in Philadelphia.
It began in 1703 as a burial location on the Levering farm; after 1744, it became
known as the Roxborough Burial Ground. It became part of the Roxborough Baptist Church but ended its connection with the church and was incorporated as
Leverington Cemetery Company in 1857.
