The Hickory Grove Cemetery currently stands as one of the oldest cemeteries in Northeastern PA.

The historic burial ground, formally established in 1807, not only contains the final resting places of village residents, but also holds a section dedicated to the former runaway slaves who established communities in Waverly during and after the Underground Railroad movement.

Additionally, the graveyard contains an area featuring eight of the thirteen soldiers who voluntarily served the country during the Civil War.

Hickory Grove remains a significant part of the region’s local history and serves as both an active burial ground and preserved link to the past.
