The tour ends at the Friends Southwestern Burial Ground, where several of the figures highlighted along the route were laid to rest.
Last year, newly elected Mayor Keffer appointed new members to the Upper Darby Historic Commission. Among them was Bart Everts, a librarian at Rutgers University Camden.
The notion of a walking tour came out of the need for a socially distanced activity, Everts said.
“I think, given the fact that we’re still experiencing the effects of COVID-19, it was a good idea to just do a self-guided tour, rather than bringing a bunch of people in one kind of small area. This allows people to do it at their own free time, and also do it at their own pace,” Everts said.
