Hope Cemetery and Mausoleum
Newark Valley
Hope Cemetery was established in 1820 as a privately owned burial ground. It has been enlarged several times, and now is a nonprofit association, governed by a Board of Trustees. The gravestones represent every period of Newark Valley history. Many of the paths are named for early settlers. The Mausoleum was built in 1928, containing 200 crypts in a neoclassical Greek Revival structure with white marble interior, and plastered concrete on the outside.
