This cemetery, named after an early owner of the land, began in the 18th century as a family or community burial ground. Abandoned and forgotten, it was rescued by the Martinus Hogenkamp Cemetery Association. Several stones are inscribed in Dutch, the language of many Rockland colonists. Nine soldiers of the American Revolution and five of the Civil War are buried here.The Martinus Hogenkamp Cemetery Association was established

in 1916 and incorporated in 1931.
