HANOVER — The Hanover Heritage Association invites the public to a special social event on Sunday, March 30, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Public Meeting Room at the Hanover Township Municipal Building, 1000 Route 10, Whippany.
This free event allows attendees to meet the association’s members and learn about their ongoing efforts to preserve and promote one of Morris County’s most significant historical sites—the Whippany Burying Yard.
Established in 1718, the Whippany Burying Yard is the oldest cemetery in north central and northwestern New Jersey. It is honored on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. The cemetery not only serves as the final resting place for generations of local residents but also tells the story of the community’s early settlers and their enduring legacy.
“We’re excited to welcome the public to learn more about the Whippany Burying Yard and the important work our volunteers are doing,” said a representative from the Hanover Heritage Association. “This event is a great chance to connect with others who care about local history and preserving our shared heritage.”
Light refreshments will be provided, and community members are encouraged to stop by, ask questions, and explore ways to get involved.
