Description

The Colden Family Cemetery is a Registered Historic Place in the Town of Montgomery in Orange County, New York. It is located off Maple Avenue south of NY 17K, surrounded by a small stone wall.It was established in the 1780s by the descendants of area resident Cadwallader Colden, one of the last colonial governors of New York. The ruins of the family home are at the junction of 17K and NY 747, approximately a mile (1.6 km) to the northeast. While Colden himself is buried another private cemetery in the Queens community of Flushing where he died, a tablet was erected in his memory at the entrance.

The most recent grave is that of Anna Colden Harris, who died in 1937.The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
