6. Princeton Cemetery

DOWNTOWN.   Since 1757, this cemetery has been the burial site for local families and for prominent Americans – for which reason it's been called the "Westminster Abbey of the United States." Affiliated with the Nassau Presbyterian Church, the cemetery shelters the graves of parishioners and other town residents; a special part is also designated as the Presidents' Plot for leaders of Princeton University. Maps of the cemetery (available at the superintendent's house on Greenview Avenue) indicate the tombstones of historical figures like Aaron Burr, Jonathan Edwards and Grover Cleveland.   (© 10Best)
