Cemetery Hill

Dublin Core

Title

Cemetery Hill

Subject

Van Cortlandt Park and Cross Country

Description

This part of the course is perhaps the most famous. Many think that it is called cemetery hill because of how steep and long the hill is, but it is named that because at the top of the hill is the cemetery of the Van Cortlandt family, whom the park used to belong to when it was their wheat plantation.
