Location: Parking lot at 132 N Prince Street. GPS Coordinates: 40°02’25.1″N 76°18’29.2″W. Find the stone plaque embedded in the ground commemorating the Moravian Cemetery site.

Challenge: Take a selfie with the stone marker.

History Brief: This April 1883 photo of Ellicott’s former home shows a very different Lancaster than what you see today. Perhaps the biggest change is the removal of the Lancaster Moravian Church cemetery.

This photograph shows how the Sehner-Ellicott-von Hess House looked in April 1883.

The 1742 cemetery was removed in 1917 for the construction of the Lancaster Post Office. Find the nearby stone plaque commemorating the site.
