The four weekends in August are Lehigh Valley’s Passport to History.

Horner’s Cemetery, 4955 Nor-Bath Blvd., East Allen Township, will be open 9-11 a.m. the first two Saturdays - Aug. 7 and 14 - with free tours.

This is an annual celebration of local histories, stories and community that brings history to life. At Horner’s Cemetery, you will hear stories from the oldest, longest and permanent settlement in Northampton (1728).

This is the 293rd anniversary of the settlement. Visit the site of the oldest congregation (1730) and first church (1731). Hear the stories of the community’s ties to General George Washington and Ben Franklin.

Visit the ancestor of President Roosevelt and the newly found ancestor of President Truman. Hear the story of Jane Horner, the first woman killed by Native Americans in Northampton County.

Meet the delegates to the provincial meetings held in Carpenter’s Hall to help frame the Declaration of Independence. Some went to the Constitutional Convention and Continental Congress as well.

Visit the men who founded the towns of Bath and Northampton and the townships of Allen, East Allen, lower Moore and western lower Nazareth. Learn who was commissioned to secure land and start Northampton County’s Courthouse and Jail.

Meet two of the four generals who went on to be politicians for the state and federal governments. One of these generals was given two gifts from Washington.

Learn about all four generals, seven esquires, three ministers and four doctors, all in 1 acre of land.

See the display of photographs, articles, maps, car tour, directions to Fort Ralston and Wilson’s Blockhouse and other handouts. Hear about the local related sites.

When the tour is over, pick up coupons that can be used toward admission or gift shops at other Passport to History sites.
