Mt. Lebanon Cemetery was Chambersburg’s African American burial ground. It slopes down from the top of the hill and offers great views across Chambersburg. Many members of the United States Colored Troops are buried here, as are Henry Watson and Joseph R. Winters, two men involved with John Brown and the Underground Railroad.

I found many family members who I never buried in MT. Lebanon Cemetery. It was well worth my search. I will revisiting soon. I live in Maryland.
I Once Volunteered to serve and to clean this sacred (2007) place and must say it was, one of the proudest times of my life. The people, it was my privileged to serve with, were some of the finest and most sincere, I have ever met. It was truly a spiritual experience. And I thank you all, for allowing me to be a part, of so noble a service.
