African-American Cemetery
African-American Cemetery, Historic African-American burial ground in Montgomery, United States.
The cemetery contains over 100 grave markers spread across nearly half an acre of land along Route 416 in New York State.
Founded around 1750, this burial ground served as the final resting place for enslaved individuals owned by the Miller family and other local residents.
The cemetery represents a connection to early African-American presence in Orange County, with 171 documented burial locations reflecting generational changes.
Located near Interstate 84 and the Wallkill River, the cemetery received National Register of Historic Places designation in August 1996.
Only two graves maintain readable inscriptions, while small metal pipes mark the positions of other burial sites throughout the grounds.
