Summary
Step into history at Conewago Chapel in Hanover, Pennsylvania — the oldest stone Catholic church in the U.S., built in 1785-87 on land once illegal for churches. A “mother church” for Catholicism in the region, it’s still standing today with original artwork by Bavarian painter Franz Stecher and a Pope-approved title as a minor basilica. The cemetery predates the U.S., and its quiet, sacred vibe draws pilgrims seeking peace two centuries later. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
