A small colonial cemetery that is still active. It is adjacent to Glen Cove Rd.

Adriaen Hegeman permitted the usage of part of his property for burials. This portion of the property designated as East Hillside Cemetery at a later date. He was interred here in 1747. Colonial-era interments include Hessian troops that had a nearby camp. Although, the Hessian gravestones were removed during WWI and replaced with simple rocks, purportedly due to anti-German sentiment. Colonial-era burials are in the southwest corner of the cemetery.
