Locust Cemetery, Muttontown
Address: West side of Rt. 106 (Jericho-Oyster Bay Rd.) opposite Frances Dr., Muttontown, NY.

Other Information: "Locust Cemetery, 1816" appears on the gate of this well-fenced and neatly maintained cemetery. Reference to the old chronicles show that it started out as a family burying ground on the farm founded by Jorus Duryea, presumably about the time of his marriage in 1772. It has remained virtually a family cemetery, most of those buried in it being related to each other. From Herbert Hale, Town Historian 1961. Also sometimes referred to as the Duryea Burying Ground.
