This cemetery’s location and its condition are what make it so interesting. It can be found in Wyckoff, just off a main road. There’s a sign for the cemetery right along the road, but it’s actually much further back. We walked down the trail and past 3 or...
Within the Pennsylvania side of Washington Crossing State Park is a memorial/cemetery for Revolutionary soldiers who died the night Washington crossed the Delaware to own some drunken Hessians. The field is surrounded on 3 sides by a small stone wall, which resembles a fort. Two large pillars stand...
I’ve known about this place for years. Why I took this long to visit it I’ll never know. Not many know a member of the Lincoln family (yes, as in Abraham Lincoln) is buried in NJ. Deborah, our 16th president’s great-grand aunt, was only 3 when she died...

Finn’s Point National Cemetery is small….not even 5 acres in size. When you first enter, you don’t see too many stones. But once you get to the back corner of the graveyard, you find out why; there is a very tall (85′ tall) memorial in the back for...
The oldest cemetery in Salem, Burying Point has at least 1 Mayflower passenger and many people involved in the Salem Witch trials. Many of the stones are from the 1600’s, which I found fascinating. We don’t have cemeteries that old down this way. Many of the stones were...
