Established in 1861, Edgewood Historic Cemetery is located at 989 E. High Street. Many do not realize the Borough of Pottstown does not provide any funding to the cemetery. Without steady donations and volunteer-powered cleanups, the grounds would again be terribly overgrown as they were when the cemetery was abandoned in 2012. The cost to keep the grass mowed is about $20,000 each year. The final resting place for more than 4,800 souls, Edgewood’s graves include veterans of the Civil War, Spanish-American War, the Great War, World War II, and the Korean Conflict, among other U.S. Servicemen and Servicewomen.
