It holds the graves of many early village figures and about 35 Revolutionary War veterans. It also has a broad range of gravestone art from the late 18th and 19th centuries, including a group of eleven markers attributed to Vermont carver Zerrubabel Collins.","narrative":"Founded in 1771, this 2.3-acre burial ground lies at Third Avenue and 107th Street in the former village of Lansingburgh, now part of Troy, New York. Abraham Jacob Lansing laid out the village along the Hudson River, and the cemetery served as its main burial place until Trinity Episcopal Church opened its own cemetery in 1804. About 350 graves date from 1771 to 1912, and they include roughly 35 Revolutionary War veterans and several early civic figures, such as a library founder, a town clerk and the first gate tender of the covered bridge to Waterford. The markers are sandstone, marble and granite, and together they show changing gravestone styles across more than a century. Eleven marble stones are attributed to Zerrubabel Collins, a Vermont carver, and may form the largest group of his work in New York State. Many of these stones have deteriorated in recent decades, probably from air pollution. The cemetery is one of few surviving original features of the village.","period_of_significance":"1771 - 1912","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"No Style","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still a cemetery.
