Siloam Cemetery was established in 1864 by Charles Landis, the founder of Vineland, just three years after he created the town itself.  Landis is buried there, along with many of the town’s influential citizens. Along with its notable residents, the cemetery also features several historic structures. This includes the 1885 receiving vault, a small sandstone mausoleum intended for the storage of bodies during the winter until the ground thawed enough for graves to be dug; the double-arched Gothic granite entrance gateway with iron gates built in 1900; the iron and granite fence added in 1902; and the non-denominational Gothic-revival granite chapel built in 1918.   

The Trust grant will help fund the creation of a Preservation Plan to guide future work on the historic buildings within Siloam Cemetery.
