The Sussex County Slave Graveyard Is A Chilling Reminder of New Jersey’s History

In the middle of the woods of the “ghost town” of Walpack, New Jersey, a little over an hour northwest of Montclair State University, sit some 50 gravestones of formerly enslaved African American residents. For centuries, the graves have remained unmarked and go mostly unnoticed. Their lack of recognition from government officials reminds us that, in 2026, racism is still very real, entrenched into the political institutions of our country.

Following a $130 million restoration , the nearly century-old landmark celebrated its ceremonial ribbon-cutting this week.
