Cemetery History

Memorial Cemetery was founded by John Divine Jones in 1862. This cemetery replaced the original cemetery located above the church.

Auburn in Boston. The design was to emulate a park like setting…

News

St. John's Episcopal Church was the first religious institution to be established in Cold Spring Harbor. The first Episcopalian services were held in the little 18th century school house just above the site of the present church.

“If you are seeking after God, together we might find them.”

Seeking after God is one of the principle marks of Christian discipleship. Christians look for God, and find God, in all parts of life, but sometimes it helps to have company.

Join us in seeking God together.
