The Willow Grove Cemetery Complex is located
on Morris Street between Livingston Avenue and George Street in
downtown New Brunswick, New Jersey. The five acre site is actually
made up of three smaller cemeteries; each founded and originally
operated independently. Closest to Livingston Avenue and adjacent
to the New Brunswick Free Public Library property is Willow Grove
Cemetery, founded in 1851. Next to Willow Grove Cemetery is the
cemetery known as Cheesman or Central Cemetery, founded in 1868.
The third and oldest cemetery, Presbyterian Cemetery, was relocated
from Burnett Street to its present setting in 1837. This cemetery
is situated between Cheesman Cemetery and the Hope VI housing complex
on George Street.
The City of New Brunswick received a Grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a division of Cultural Affairs in the Department of State. The Grant aided in the indexing of the grave markers and the development of this web site. |
