  • Love old cemeteries and this one did not disappoint. It’s rich in history so many different designs on the gravestones. Great views of Boston. Love that it is located right across the street from the spite house. Lots of plaques with alit of information. If you love history this is definitely one of the graveyards you need to visit.
  • Cemetery that can be visited by walking the "Boston Freedom Trail". Admission is free and you can find explanatory panels that tell the history of the cemetery and some of the people buried there. Since it is a cemetery, respect must be shown throughout the visit.
