Does anyone know what is happening with Woodland Cemetery in Newark? I looked at the street view on Google maps and it looks like it is not being cared for. The photos were from 2013, but the place looked extremely rundown. It even appeared as though what used to be the entrance was blocked off.
I was thinking of going there on my next genealogy trip, but from what I saw online I wondered if it was open to visitors or not? or if there are any plans to restore or care for it?
Does anyone know?
Thank you.

Hi blpen
I'm Cookie, I live around the corner from Woodland Cemetery they are getting a committee together to clean it up. Headstones has been destroyed, its not safe to go in there alone, and you can get in because the fence is down.

Thanks for the info. I'm glad to hear they are trying to do something about it and I'll be sure if I get to the area not to go alone.
