Volunteer Tuesdays at the Historic JC & Harsimus Cemetery

Join us at the Historic Jersey City and Harsimus Cemetery for some outdoor, as well as indoor tasks as we prepare for 2026.
Volunteers are needed to help revitalize, beautify, maintain and improve areas in the cemetery through a variety of gardening projects, property maintenance and restoration work. The Historic Jersey City & Harsimus Cemetery is a state treasure. Prior to the creation of the Cemetery in 1829, its historical significance dates back to the Revolutionary War when General Marquis de Lafayette and British forces clashed in 1780. The grounds were also used as an ammunition bunker and lookout point during the War of 1812 and again for military training during World Wars I and II. Now, the sacred eternal resting place of thousands of soldiers from the Revolutionary & Civil Wars, the War of 1812, the Spanish-American War, WWI, WW2, and the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Come help preserve history!
