Hometown History: York’s potter’s field: Common ground for separated people


Listen Later

For centuries in York County, when some deceased people could not be identified, had no family or no financial means, they would be interred in City Cemetery. Until the late 1800s, York’s potter’s field, as it was called, lay at South George Street and West College Avenue. When that land - buoyed in value by a rejuvenated Penn Park - was claimed for a new York High, the remains of individuals in potter’s field were disinterred and reburied on former farmland on a remote hilltop in North York. Burial here separated people by class and race from other York area burial grounds. Permanently. So, the potter’s field made famous in the film “It’s a wonderful life?” The York area has one. And work is underway to mark this forgotten burial space and to tell the stories of the fathers and mothers, sons and daughters of York buried there. It’s called Project Penny Heaven, in its fundraising stage, to place a monument York City Cemetery
