On Friday, June 19, in honor of Juneteenth, the Bergen County Parks Department, through the Division of Cultural & Historic Affairs, invites you to self-guided tours at Gethsemane Cemetery located in Little Ferry.

Established in 1860, Gethsemane Cemetery is a one-acre cemetery for Black Americans who lived in Hackensack in the late 1800s-early 1900s and were barred from other cemeteries due to segregation laws. Although only 50 gravestones are still standing, over 500 people are buried there. The most famous person is Elizabeth Dulfer, who established a successful clay-and-brickmaking business along the Hackensack River before the Civil War. The county purchased and restored the site in 1985.

All are welcome to visit this rich pocket of Black history, not only to honor the memory of the deceased, but to reflect on an often-overlooked chapter of Bergen County history.
