Granary Burying Ground

Founded in 1660, the Granary Burying Ground is the third oldest burying ground in Boston. Granary Burying Ground is the final resting place of some of the greatest names in American History. John Hancock, Paul Revere and Samuel Adams all share shady plots alongside the victims of the Boston Massacre.

DID YOU KNOW? Granary Burying Ground is also the site of Elizabeth "Mother" Goose's grave, believed by some to be "Mother Goose." It's unclear whether or not her body is buried under the headstone or elsewhere in the cemetery. Of course, the debate among historians has, well, ruffled a few feathers over the years.
