About

Little Lost Cemetery, Parsippany, New Jersey, is home to just 14 headstones, this small cemetery is thought to have once served an orphanage known as the Morris County Childrens’ Home, prior to the children’s transfer to Ailanthus Hall. When the hall burned, all that remained as a reminder was this burial ground. Once forgotten, it has, in recent times been revived through the efforts of passionate locals.
