A Walk Among the Tombstones

The earliest European settlers arrived in Monmouth County in the 1660s and many old burial grounds may be found in churchyards and along back roads.   A walk among the tombstones reveals familiar names that are now associated with streets and towns throughout the county and harkens back to a time when the sea connected Monmouth to the world.
