John Richards gave this land to his Christian Friends and neighbors for a suitable meeting house for the public worship of God, a school house, a burying yard, and a training field. The first church and school in Morris and Sussex Counties were built here in the fall of 1718. The site was used as a cemetery from 1718 to 1976.
