Bard College Cemetery is a private two-acre historic cemetery located on Bard College’s campus in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY.

Access and interment details are typically managed by Bard College, with specific fees and procedural notes published for families seeking burial plots or internment services. The Bard Cemetery page and the associated PDF/FAQ materials outline general guidelines, plot sizes, adornment rules, and service charges (as of the cited documents).[2][1]
-
There are occasional related program notes and walking/visitation references tied to Bard’s cemetery as part of campus activities or lifelong-learning programs, such as “Summer Walk at the Bard Cemetery” and other educational pages that discuss the cemetery landscape and its history.[3][6]
-
Several third-party or fan-maintained pages provide additional historical context or speculative details about Bard College Cemetery, including dates and origins, but these should be treated cautiously without Bard-backed confirmation.[4]
If you want, I can:
- Check the Bard College official site for the most current interment policies and fees.
- Look for recent news items specifically about Bard College Cemetery (e.g., anniversaries, preservation efforts, or commemorations).
- Pull a brief, sourced timeline of known facts about its establishment and notable interments from Bard’s publications and campus programs.

The Bard College cemetery sits on the side of the Stevenson library, continuing into the forest. It is speculated to be built in 1860, as that was when the first tombstone was placed although there is no official date to when it was established. It is speculated that the cemetery was once a European Burial Ground when St Stephens College existed (now Bard).

cemetery.bard.eduOn this summer visit, come through the lychgate and turn right/east up the little rise for a different perspective on the Bard cemetery, a resting place for both local and national figures. Along this route you can acquaint yourself with some of the people who were laid to rest here early on. Turn north/left at the top of the rise and walk past the three statues: two saints, followed by the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus, which was recently relocated here from Bard’s Massena campus.
