This Unique Cemetery In New York Is The Only One Of Its Kind In The Country
If you’re looking for a unique cemetery in New York that’s the only one of its kind in the country, consider a visit to Hartsdale Pet Cemetery in Hartsdale. This graveyard was established in 1896 and was the first pet cemetery in the country. It’s also the only one to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It’s such a beautiful and peaceful place. A walk through here is utterly serene.

Johnson lived in Hartsdale and was approached by a client who was extremely distraught after her dog passed away. She lived in New York City and had nowhere to legally bury the dog. Johnson offered up his apple orchard for her to use as a final resting place. He later mentioned the incident to a friend who was a reporter, and several days later, the story appeared in print. Johnson was then contacted by a number of pet owners who were in the same situation. He ended up setting aside an area of his apple orchard to be used as a pet cemetery.
