Add PhotosThe Old Man's Valley Cemetery is of State significance for its rarity as one of the few fully conserved family cemeteries in New South Wales and possibly the only one.
Sited in Old Man's Valley, which was first agricultural land then a bluestone quarry (now decommissioned), the cemetery is associated with the economic development of the locality and also has high local historical significance for its graves memorialising the descendants of Hornsby's earliest European settler family, Thomas Edward Higgins, son of Thomas Higgins and his wife Eleanor McDonald.
