This project is for those who are buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Nyack, Rockland County, New York.
The cemetery is located on Route 9W across from Nyack Hospital on 65 Acres with sweeping views of the Hudson River, it was established in 1848. The 25 headstones that predate the 1848 incorporation of Oak Hill are from Salisbury Point in South Nyack and were disintered because of flooding. The oldest headstone is for Harmanus Tallman (1716-1790), the great nephew of the first European settler in this region, Dowe Harmensen Tallman.
