As the third-oldest Boston burial ground, the Granary Burying Ground has a history closely entwined with the American Revolution. Three signers of the Declaration of Independence are buried here, as are Boston Massacre victims. There's perhaps no single graveyard anywhere with such a high proportion of notables interred in such a tight space.
To wander among the 2,345 graves, you can stop by anytime during opening hours, and enjoy free entry to this public space. You can also easily pair a visit with a walk through Boston Common, or learn more on a Boston's Freedom Trail tour. Most tours visit the Granary plus about a dozen other historically-significant sights.
