A History of The Vale: Schenectady's Historic Rural Cemetery

More about the book

The book explores the rich history of Vale Cemetery, established in 1857 as part of the Rural Cemetery Movement. Originally rural, it has since become surrounded by urban development, yet it remains a significant historical site. The cemetery is the final resting place for notable figures in various fields, from science to literature. It details burial practices, the cemetery's evolution, and highlights specific plots, including those for Union College and African-American residents. Extensive appendices feature biographies of 101 notable individuals and a catalog of plantings, complemented by numerous photographs and illustrations.
