History & local legend

Cedar Grove Park in Whitemarsh Township, Montgomery County, contains an old farmhouse and barn. The farmhouse became home to the Whitemarsh Art Center in 1970, after the group began meeting in founder Dena Sher's living room six years earlier.

The park's ghost accounts focus on its wooded grounds after dark. People reported screams and figures moving among the trees. A story about someone dying in the barn circulated alongside those reports, connecting the sounds and walkers with the property's earlier rural use.
