A small cemetery located in a wooded area on McCormick Road, just off the Oakland Valley Road. There are three sections; the older one appears to date back to the early-to-mid 19th century. There are only a handful of headstones or markers from recent years. Many of the headstones are of natural fieldstone and have no markings; those that do are falling into disrepair and are difficult to read. Many of the early residents of the Hartwood/Forestburgh area are interred here: Decker, Gordon, Lane, Conroy, Green and Norris, among others. A young nephew of author Stephen Crane is buried here. This part of the cemetery is surrounded on four sides by a stone wall.

The second section is more recent and is well-tended. It's in an L-shape and in the warmer months is backed by a lovely bank of ferns. This part of the cemetery is much smaller, with less than twenty-five gravestones, and is sometimes referred to as McCormick Cemetery. It is located to the left of the main section.

To the right of the main cemetery lies the small Dimock family cemetery.
