Paxtang Cemetery
Paxtang Cemetery first established in 1898, in what was then known as Swatara Township and adjoined the historic Paxton Church grounds. Today the town is know as Paxtang Borough. The sight was and still is ideal being elevated ground, rising high and rolling from its front. The soil is dry and particularly well suited for burial purposes. Nature has done much to make this one of her most charming spots. The landscape is beautiful and restful, & the outlook inspiring and magnificent. From any part of the cemetery a beautiful panorama view of the valley, mountains and woods unfolds itself to view. There are 34 acres, 12 of which are undeveloped.
Paxtang Cemetery is very easy to get to. Located off of South Progress and Paxtang Aves (directions). and just two miles off of Interstate 83.
