Directions to Cemetery

Before going to the cemeteries to lay wreaths, we encourage volunteers to attend the brief but meaningful VFW Wreath Ceremony, starting promptly at 10:30a.m. at the “New Freedom Veterans Park” @ 16700 Veterans Drive, New Freedom, PA (just off Campbell Road). There is plenty of parking at the Veterans Park, but parking may be limited at New Freedom Ceremony if that is your destination. However, it is just a short walking distance to the New Freedom Cemetery from the Veterans Park.

After the ceremony, volunteers will disperse to go to 3 of our cemeteries:

• New Freedom Cemetery (Off Campbell Road & George Street) - There is limited parking inside that cemetery. We suggest parking on George St. if you choose to drive over to the cemetery instead of parking at the Veterans Park)

• St. John the Baptist Cemetery (315 N. Constitution Ave., New Freedom, PA) - We will be placing wreaths in the older cemeteries down by the old historic church. Note: The children of St. Johns the Baptist Catholic School will place wreaths in their new cemetery (up behind the new church) at a “private” ceremony held during their school hours.

• Bethlehem Steltz Reformed Church (5890 Steltz Road, Glen Rock, PA – going out of New Freedom west on Rt. 851)


Parking Instructions

There is plenty of parking at the New Freedom Veterans Park but limited parking at the New Freedom Cemetery. For able bodied persons, it is a short walking distance from the Veterans Park to the cemetery. There is plenty of parking at Bethlehem Steltz Church and St. John the Baptist Catholic Church.
