The city's oldest and smallest owned cemetery at 1.6 acres. Both the Gravesend and Van Sicklen Cemeteries are New York City landmarks and on the National Register of historic places. In addition they are New York State Historical Landmarks.

This graveyard is across the street from where George Washington lived. There's a tunnel that goes from the house to the graveyard, and this is how GW escaped the battle of Brooklyn in 1776...so cool.
