It is located on 64-66 Main Street. The nearest cross street is Thomas Street in South River NJ.

The Old School Baptist Church was built in 1805. A cemetery was established behind the church and the first burial took place in 1810.

This cemetery was the principle burial ground in the village of South River (known at that time as Washington Twp) until Washington Monumental Cemetery was established.

Both the church and cemetery are now maintained by the township.
