BRINKERHOFF (BLACK STUMP) CEMETERY Traditional Cache

Cache is a key holder and his very close to a playgound for kids and adults.

The cache is located a few blocks from the Brinkerhoff Cemetery. If you want to visit the BRINKERHOFF (BLACK STUMP) CEMETERY go to N 40° 43.911 W 073° 47.310 It's a shame what has happened here.

It is now an empty lot on 182nd Street near 73rd Avenue in Fresh Meadows, but its disposition has been the source of some controversy in recent years. It contains 77 Colonial-era graves dating back to 1730. The markers have either been buried or stolen in the intervening years.

The owner of the property would like to build on it, while the Queens Historical Society and the Brinkerhoff family would obviously like to keep it as a historic cemetery. As of fall 2000 the case is still being hashed out in court.
