Geocache Description:

The cache is located in the Lamington Black Cemetery in Lamington New Jersey. The cemetery is located on Cowperthwaite Road (paved road that turns gravel) which is just off of Lamington Rd about 4 miles from the center of Bedminster. You can park on the side of the road since few cars drive down the road.

The Lamington Black Cementery is a 19th century burial grounds on the National Register of Historic Places. In the cemetery there are 97 identified graves including 36 with known names and 61 unknown. The people buried were former slaves and free blacks who were members of the Lamington Presbyterian Church. Also there are 5 Civil War Veterans who fought heroically for the Union. It is also believed that Cuffy Barnet, the Lamington Black Saint, is buried in this cemetery, however no records exist of his burial. Cuffy presided over many of the burials at the cemetery before his death in 1844. When you walk through the cemetery be respectful and try not to walk on the graves. The cache is not located inside of cemetery but instead in front of it. For you golfers Cowperthwaite Road goes through Trump National Golf Course so if you want to see the course you can but the section of the road that goes through the golf course will be closing soon. ***Please make sure you put the cache back exactly as found***
