Head of the River’s “Forgotten” Cemetery
Thanks to NJ Pines & Down Jersey for helping with some of the info. I’ve passed Head of the River Church many times going to other places, 2 being the Abandoned Cranberry Mill and Aetna Furnace. I never really thought much about the church until I read about...
