Arts Center property, on the east side of the NJ Garden State Parkway
near the Vietnam Era Educational Center.
It is surrounded by a wrought iron fence and a walkway. Access and parking is easy and
it is well maintained.
The land that this cemetery occupies is part of the original 1,219 acre tract of land granted to
Captain John Bowne in 1687 from the King of England. John Bowne's great granddaughter,
Catherine Bowne, married John Crawford.
