Gethsemane Cemetery
« on: March 25, 2013, 07:42:15 PM »
COMPLETELY by accident, I stumbled across this place yesterday. I had heard of it, but had no idea where it was in Little Ferry. To me, it had to be somewhere well-south of Rt 46.

I was walking west on 46 from the LF circle in search of something interesting to photograph, gave up when I got to Liberty St, and made a right there. I took the next two rights, trying to get to the road parallel to 46 and one block north (I had parked my car on it down near the old Valley Fair).

The last right I made (Summit Place) took me to that road and also past the locked entrance to Gethsemane.

Show of hands.............who's ever seen this place before?

Here's some information on it: http://www.co.bergen.nj.us/bcparks/CsGethsemane.aspx

And Ol' Homer thought he'd  knew everything. Maybe Mr. Editor could show this on a map?

Liberty St is Moonachie Rd in Hackensack. Woodland St is the one I was looking for when I made the 3 rights. Summit Place is where the "A" marker is.

The County did a good job restoring the site.  It was in a really bad condition back in the 1980's, when I had first bicycled by and saw it.

Go a short wagon ride due south...about 3 miles next to the new quick check..... theres an even older cemetery....it used to belong to the 3rd Reformed Church of Hackensack...Very old cemetery ....General Outwater of the revelution is buried there.... the county needs to spend a little $ there before its distroyed...
