    A historic cemetery, the final resting place of the famous and not-so-famous. Pay attention to the inscriptions on the stones, many of which detail the intellectual interests and specialties of those....  more

    There are some very old graves here and some famous people buried here. Worth a stroll. There is typically a map available that highlights some of the more popular headstones

    Pretty well maintained cemetery Grover Cleveland is buried here along with many people who influence our state and county. It's down the block from Princeton university so it's definitely worth a visit
  • By Matthew Stock
    Nice cemetery containing many notable burials including Aaron Burr, President Grover Cleveland, John Witherspoon, and Kurt Godel
  • By Derek Cazel
    It was overcast with a light rain, but so many sites. We went for Grover Cleveland, but also saw Aaron Burr Sr and Jr, Jonathan Edwards, John Witherspoon, and more in the (Princeton) Presidents Plot. They even had the grave of the founder of Tulane University.
  • By bobbie manns
    Very well maintained cemetary. Maps provided to help locate selected graves and friendly and helpful grounds crew for if you're in the area and still struggling to find what you're looking for. Unlike the cemetary by Syracuse university, princeton Cemetery has not been vandalized or defaced by local college kids (of if it has been the grounds crew has erased all trace of the desecration).
  • By Satish Shikhare
    How to find Aaron Burr's resting place? He is on the side closer to the Princeton Library building. He is in a fenced (short) group reserved for President of Princeton University. His father was one.
