Description

The actual name of the cemetery is William Howard Day Cemetery. An African American Burial Ground. William Howard Day opened in 1940, to serve the needs of the African-American community in the Greater Harrisburg area. Its forty-three acres, which offers a skyline view of the City of Harrisburg, were acquired by a partnership of local business men with the goal of transforming the parcel into a worthy location for the memorialization of deceased loved ones. The cemetery was named in honor of a local educator and the first African-American to serve on the Harrisburg City School Board.
