Glens Falls Cemetery is a historic cemetery located at Glens Falls, Warren County, New York. It was established in 1853 as a 13-acre cemetery and expanded in 1871, 1888, and five times between 1913 and 1973 to a total of 38 acres.
In 1853, the village purchased 13 acres from Andrew Porteus of Queensbury, New York for the sum of $1000, with $500 set aside for grading and fencing. [2] The first burial took place in 1855, but there are several older markers which were moved here from the old West Street Cemetery in the early 1870s. [2]
After several expansions, the cemetery now spans 32 acres with over 12,000 burials. [2]
The Memorial Chapel (1946) is a small, front gabled stone building with a slate roof. The cemetery office (1950) is a concrete stucco finished building with a peaked slate roof. The cemetery includes a number of notable burial monuments and mausoleums. [4]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. [1]
