  At least it has a good fence around it. The review in Russian captures the majority of what is seen here. Over all kind of a sad place. No path into or through the gravestones save a dirt track for thirty feet. Most stones are in a bad state of repair and illegible. Not sure why they disallow gravestone rubbing. It would behoove the city to preserve something of the names and details of these graves from the time of the nation's founding. Came in March and littered with fallen beaches and twigs. A few squirrels.

  Old cemetery. Aged more than 150 years.

  Центральное городское кладбище. Это самое старое кладбище Бостона, основанное в 1756 г. Здесь были похоронены наиболее важные персоналии ранней истории города, включая художника Г. Стюарта, автора известных портретов Джорджа и Марты Вашингтон, а также композитора У. Биллинга, написавшего знаменитый колониальный гимн «Честер». Здесь же можно найти могилу участника «Бостонского чаепития» Сэмюэля Спрэга и его сына, Чарльза Спрэга, одного из первых поэтов страны

  Crypts look interesting. Everything is very dead looking...like the grass.

  Solemn. Reflective. Allegedly haunted. If you wish to test this local lore respectfully do this during the day without touching the tombstones. The memorials are more than one hundred years old. Remember that this is the final resting place for thousands of souls.
