Found this little gem of an old cemetery. Love hiking around looking at the grave markers from 19th century and wondering about the family history of old Staten Island. I enjoyed climbing to the top to see the end of the day with a beautiful sunset view. There was no coincidence that the top of the hill faces west to gorgeous view. I wish there was no broken bottles thrown about
Interesting little spot to explore on a sleepy day. Take the Victory blvd local out almost to the end, and make sure to bring a camera and hiking boots. Long pants are advised given the poison ivy. Notice the names with regard to street names used in the present.
