[edit] History

On top of Buckingham Mountain lies the Mount Gilead African Methodist Episcopal, built in 1835, and rebuilt in 1852 out of stone. It was founded by runaway slaves and was considered to be one of the more prominent refuges for runaway slaves in Southeastern Pennsylvania.

It is also know as Gravity Hill, for there is a superstition that cars roll uphill there.
