This 13-acre cemetery, located across Hudson Street from the Warrensburgh Cemetery, is the older of the two cemeteries, pre-dating
1876. It is significant for recalling the development of social and religious practices in the community as well as containing representative examples of nineteenth and twentieth centuries funerary art. The property contains no associated utility or other buildings or structures.
The Warrensburgh Cemetery contains a recent non-contributing concrete block structure.
This contributing 10-acre cemetery, located at the northwestern end of Hudson Street, was established prior to the turn of the century. It is significant for representing the social, civic and religious development of the community and for its collection of late-nineteenth and twentieth centuries funerary art. The cemetery contains a recent, non-contributing large concrete block, shed-roofed structure as well as a small, contributing, c. 1920 utility building featuring a shiplap siding, multi-paned sash and exposed rafter tails.

Cemeteries - The Warrensburg Cemetery Association was incorporated in 1870. Prior to that private cemeteries and churchyard cemeteries were used. Seven acres on what is now known as Hudson Street were purchased and burial lots were marked out. The first to be interred there was Mrs. John Robertson. In 1887 the association added three and a half acres. The Catholic Cemetery Association, established c.1876, purchased adjoining land for its own St Cecilia's Cemetery.
War Memorial in the Warrensburg Cemetery was dedicated on Memorial Day, May 28, 1950. It was sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary whose members were assisted by Legionnaire Joe Anselmo. On the front (facing Hudson Street) are listed those who served and died in World Wars I and II. On the reverse side are those who served and died in Korea and Vietnam. Many Warrensburg businesses and individuals contributed to its cost. Specific gifts that made the Memorial possible include the following: the plot of land by the Cemetery Association, the flag pole and fixtures by Mr. & Mrs. Arnold Scripture and Mrs. Maurice Foley, the flag by Mr. &. Mrs. Egbert Wood, Gold Star on the pole and wreath by Gold Star Mothers of Glens Falls, trees by Mr. & Mrs. William Winkler, landscaping by Len Harrington, urn by Mr. & Mrs. Arthur Schrader, and flowers courtesy of Warrensburg Greenhouses. The stone was purchased from Kenneth Lee of South Glens Falls.
