Within this cemetery, near a flower bed and benches, reportedly exists a burial site from the War of 1812. The property became a Jewish cemetery ca. 1834, although the earliest monument dates back only as far as 1855. The cemetery is connected to the Anshe Sholom Temple founded during the 1850s. The cemetery remains in use.
