Join us on Saturday, September 26, 2026, for our&nbsp;Soul Stroll Cemetery Caravan, a guided journey through historic African American cemeteries in Lancaster and York counties. Travel with us to burial grounds in Mount Joy, Marietta, Columbia, and Wrightsville, where local historians and researchers will share the stories of the people, families, churches, and Black communities connected to these sacred spaces.&nbsp; Soul Stroll is more than a cemetery tour. It is a journey through the history written in stone. The caravan departs at 9:00 a.m. from Thaddeus Stevens College&rsquo;s Griscom Education Center in Lancaster and concludes with lunch at Hinkle&rsquo;s Restaurant in Columbia (each guest responsible for their own meal).&nbsp; Come stroll with us. Their stories are still here.
