Van Rensselaer Family Plot

The Van Rensselaer family plot commands a large corner lot in the center of the cemetery, at the intersection of South Ridge Road and Cypress Avenue. The patriarch's elegant marble monument stands directly at the heart, designed by noted architect William Gray, surrounded by two dozen markers of family members arranged in a rectangle.
