The Historic Jersey City & Harsimus Cemetery, founded in 1829, is a National Treasure and is the resting place of soldiers from the Revolutionary & Civil Wars, the War of 1812, the Spanish-American War, WWI & II and Jersey City founders & legends.
Come explore 350 years of Jersey City history & nature. Sadly abandoned in 2007, The historic Cemetery is operated entirely by Volunteers. With no regular revenue, the site is operated on contributions and events that promote history, music, art, education & culture for children & adults. Please donate today at www.jerseycitycemetery.org
We are a tax exempt not for profit charitable trust. An all Volunteer mission, with no city/ state financial support. We are self funded, relying on individuals kind contributions so we can continue operating, restoring & preserving this very special historic site. www.jerseycitycemetery.org
