The Sacred Grounds Upper Cemetery, was used by the Skillman Village for Epileptics, from 1898 until 1960. It is located on New Jersey Department of Corrections land at the top of a hill between Burnt Hill Road and Route 518. Access is difficult, but can be achieved on foot. Park at the steel bridge on the south side of Burnt Hill Rd. Cross the bridge and go south, uphill on the pipeline right-of-way (the cleared area), to the top of the hill. At the top of the hill there is a cleared field, continue across the field to the first hedgerow on the left. Follow the hedgerow to the east end of the field where the entrance to the Cemetery is at the southeast corner of the field. The Cemetery consists of an irregular, roughly circular, cleared area, surrounded by woods, and remnants of wire fencing. Grave makers in the cemetery are generally small, upright markers made of various stone materials and some cast iron markers.
