The Remsen Cemetery is a private burial ground at 69-43 Trotting Course Lane, bordering the Middle Village and Rego Park neighborhoods of Queens in New York City.

In the 20th century, commemorative military gravestones were placed there by the Veterans Administration, and memorials to World War I soldiers were erected in the cemetery.

The cemetery is on a 2.5-acre (1.0 ha) triangle[1] at 69-43 Trotting Course Lane, just north of Metropolitan Avenue and one block east of Woodhaven Boulevard, at the border of Middle Village and Rego Park in the New York City borough of Queens.

[3] The surrounding area was settled in the 17th century by English and Dutch farmers, as the land was good for growing hay, rye, corn, straw, oats and green vegetables.

[a] Jeromus was recorded by the Continental Congress of 1774 as a leadership figure in New Towne, and was a clerk and member of the Queens County committee.

[9] In the early 20th century, commemorative military gravestones were placed there by the Veterans Administration in honor of two Remsen family members.

[16][17] In response, in 1978, the Native New Yorkers' Historical Association and the local American Legion post agreed to collaborate to improve the plot, with help from two historians who had maintained small cemeteries in Brooklyn and the Bronx.

[22] The Thomas X. Winberry Garden was subsequently planted at the southern end of the cemetery, at the corner of Trotting Course Lane and Alderton Street.

The Forest Hills Community and Civic Association wished to spend $10,000 to install protective cases over the tombstones, though this was rejected by state officials.
