Soldiers and Sailors Monument

The Minute Men of 1776 and the soldiers and sailors of the Revolutionary War are remembered here, especially Captain John H. Post, who lies buried here and whose destruction of Acquacknonk Bridge saved General Washington’s army from capture during its retreat from Fort Lee to this spot on November 21, 1776. Also buried in this park are soldiers and sailors of the Civil War, who served for the preservation of the Union, and veterans of the other wars of the country; the park was formerly the cemetery of the Protestant Reformed Dutch Church at Acquacknonk.
