About this Event

While walking through Boston’s Granary Burying Ground, learn what burying grounds meant to the Puritans in the 1600s and other residents of colonial New England. How did the emblems and imagery on gravestones change over time? How have Bostonians of the founding generation been honored and remembered within these burying grounds? On this tour, view gravestones of patriots such as Sam Adams, Paul Revere, and the victims of the Boston Massacre.


The route will cover approximately 0.25 miles and consist of walking over uneven surfaces.
