Mount Moor, the cemetery a mall was built around
1849
Palisades Center, West Nyack, New York
Mount Moor was founded in 1849 as a burial ground for the area's Black community and holds about 90 graves, including Civil War veterans of the US Colored Troops. When the Palisades Center mall was planned, the cemetery's association refused to let the graves be moved, so the mall and its parking lots were built around it. It has been on the National Register since 1994.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
