Stoutsburg Cemetery
Stoutsburg Cemetery, established in 1858, serves as a historic burial ground for African American residents and veterans in Hopewell Valley, New Jersey. The cemetery is a testament to the rich history of the local community, highlighted through its connection to the book "If These Stones Could Talk," which chronicles the legacy of slavery in small-town America.
In partnership with the Sourland Conservancy, the Stoutsburg Cemetery Association has also unveiled the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum, the only museum of its kind in central New Jersey. This initiative aims to honor the lives and contributions of those interred at the cemetery, fostering a deeper understanding of their historical significance.
