Princeton Cemetery

Established in 1757, the Princeton Cemetery of the Nassau Presbyterian Church is a historic graveyard that is still active today. The unique, nondenominational burial ground is best known as being the final resting place for such notable individuals as former U.S. President Grover Cleveland; a New Jersey governor; and numerous presidents of the Princeton Theological Seminary and the College of New Jersey / Princeton University, including John Witherspoon, who signed the Declaration of Independence. Aaron Burr is also buried there, drawing much attention due to the popularity of the Broadway musical “Hamilton.”
