Newburgh Colored Burial Ground
Newburgh Colored Burial Ground, Archaeological burial site in Newburgh, New York, United States.
Located beneath a parking lot and adjacent to a building on Broadway and Robinson Avenue, this burial ground spans approximately 0.9 acres of land.
The cemetery operated from 1832 to 1867, until the construction of Broadway School in 1908 occurred directly above the burial ground without relocating the remains.
Archaeological investigations in 2008 revealed over 100 graves arranged in seven orderly rows, with bodies positioned according to Christian burial traditions.
The remains discovered during renovations are currently stored at SUNY New Paltz, while plans progress for a memorial park within Downing Park.
Analysis of the recovered remains and artifacts provides information about the African American community in 19th-century Newburgh, previously undocumented in official records.
