  Really enjoyed wandering around here. Very peaceful. They have tours for those who want more info. There are folks at the gate who give you a detailed map of the grounds for free. (I gave a donation as a thank you). A lot of interesting and important history in one place.

  Worth wandering into if you're passing from the Common to Faneuil Hall. This small cemetery marked the edge of Boston, so quite a few Revolutionary War people are buried here including Samuel Adams (directly across from a bar advertising Samuel Adams beer) and Paul Revere. The large Franklin monument is not for Benjamin, but for his parents.

  The Granary is one of the earliest grave sites in America that is easily accessible and very early on the Freedom Trail. Graves of John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin and his wife, and other key figures in the early formation of the country are interred here. For someone interested in history, it is a whos-who from the early days. It is interesting to see the various headstones and monuments with the adornments. As you walk through you get a good feel for the people who lived in Boston in the very early days. There was a gentleman at the front of the burial ground handing out folders of information to use as you walk through the paths, but he is not affiliated with the city or national parks.

  Fourth stop during our self-guided walking tour, just steps from the last stop, Park Street Church. So nice that they preserved this instead of moving it to a different location as the city expanded and modernized. There's more than 2,000 graves, including those of prominent Bostonians like Paul Revere. We stayed for 20 minutes.
