And it's great that it's preserved for posterity and although still in use is a wonderful place to just sit and contemplate. It's incredible to think of how these very treatable diseases decimated so many only a couple of centuries ago (and still do in other parts of the world). There's a painting of a child (Anne Louise Tisdale Cornwallis)amongst those buried here - she looks so young and pretty - it's very sad!!<br /><br />But this really is a fantastic hidden green gem so unique to NYC.
