Headley Family Cemetery is approximately 11 miles north east of Dover NJ starting at Rt 15 travelling north. Take the right turn exit for Rt 181 Weldon Rd (the main street) and drive on. You will pass (several entrances) the Mahlon Dickinson Reservation. The cemetery is on the right. You will see a large white mausoleum (the only one) and a broken gate. Just after (if travelling Northeast) is the town center on the left.

This is an abandoned cemetery. Most stones are in poor shape and piled here or there
