Site of Elting Cemetery. Jacob Elting's descendants donated this meadow and family cemetery to the village in 2017. One of the earliest families of New Paltz, these Eltings gave the Bevier-Elting House and the Harcourt Sanctuary to the Huguenot Historical Society and also contributed the Elting Memorial Library building.
