Old Holmdel Yard, Holmdel, New Jersey

explored & photographed by: Shady

Old Holmdel Yard, Route 520 in Holmdel... an ancient little graveyard stands vigil alongside a shaded country road...

Along this winding road... the lonely lay mostly forgotten...

The stones are falling over and cracked. But a new sign graces the front of the yard, near the eerily crooked tree. Seems to have been preserved by the local community... a wonderful example of what can be preserved through the actions of a neighborhood. You can feel the history in this place.... some of the stones are even surrounded by trees.

One solemn horse watches over those who rest here. A makeshift sign warns to beware of our hooven friend, but he seems more like a guardian angel to guide those long passed on.

Do you have any background information or stories to tell about this lost site?

Want to purchase one of these, or any of my other photos...?
