Prospect Cemetery To be honest, before taking this class I never knew that the prospect cemetery existed. It was after our trip, that I came to a better understanding to who were half the blocks in my neighborhood named after. Common names such as Sutphin, Van Wyck, Baisley, Brinkerhoff, and many more. The president of the cemetery was there since 1989. She gave us a brief history on the ground. The cemetery dates back from the 1600's. The chapel had undergone many sorts of construction. The president also briefly explained all the vandalizing that was done. A lot of the tombs were kicked down to the ground. Also many sorts of drug paraphernalia was found. She also mentioned that at some time there was prostitution also being taken place.
