Something that is very important to TSPR is
the restoration and preservation of some of the historic cemeteries around
the northern New Jersey area. These old cemeteries are rich with
history, and some have fallen into neglect and outright abuse. These
cemeteries need preservation as they are a part of our heritage.
One cemetery that we have put an enormous amount of effort into restoring
is the old Cherry Ridge Cemetery in Highland Lakes, NJ. This
forgotten cemetery is located deep in the woods, and the only way to get
to it is via 4X4. You will still need to hike 1/4 mile deep into the
woods. The Cherry Ridge settlement no longer exists, but the
cemetery remains and dates back to the early/mid 1800's, containing a
recorded 20 burials. During our preservation efforts we were able to
identify some burials that were previously unrecorded. TSPR has also
been contacted by several descendents of some of the families interred
here.
