A lot of famous people Rest In Peace in this graveyard. Especially those that had major contributions to the creation of this great country! It’s a must visit!! Take the tour and follow the footsteps of Paul Revere! The grave I’m standing in front of! God bless him & may he Rest In Peace! This city is all historical! This is just one of dozens of history buffs to visit!

We came here when we took a walk on Freedom Trail. Its cool to see so many of our founding fathers graves. Love this cemetery. Very quiet, there were trees surrounding it. Quite lovely.

History lies buried here. Not a place for the uninitiated. If you dont know history and do not respect Americas founders - There isnt very much for you to do here. This is a historic graveyard. Many notable revolutionaries. But not Washington or Jefferson - The most commonly known ones. You have to know your history to honor those who lay buried. Kudos to City of Boston for preserving this.

So cool to visit the graves of such important historical characters such as Paul Revere, John Hancock, The Franklins, and Sam Adams! Definitely worth a visit even if you dont go along the whole freedom trail. Also, theres a man who hands out his own private guides as you enter which are really cool to read as you walk around.

Love taking people here in the summer to see some historic gravestones. There is an individual who usually stands at the entrance during busy summer months and hands out guides he put together himself! I certainly recommend taking one- just remember to give it back at the end of your walk.

Resting place if John Phillips, Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, Mother Goose and so many more. Very peaceful resting place. Tours with period dressed actors going on constantly. There’s even guide pamphlets to borrow!

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.

Such amazing history here. We stopped while walking the Freedom Trail. There was a map of certain places to look.

A must see for history and a pleasing walk.

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.

Free to enter. Right in the middle of downtown among all the buildings sits this quiet graveyard with so much history. Make sure to a lot enough time to take it all in & read the headstones of American history. Lots of tour groups go here but you can easily do a self guided one!

Really neat place that’s full of history. You should check it out if you’re in Boston.

Beautiful and historic grave yard, here you’ll find the graves of John Hancock, the victims of the Boston Massacre, Paul Revere, and Samuel Adams.

Who knew a graveyard could be so entertaining?? Our tour guide was phenomenal pointing out all the graves and giving info on the people buried in Granary. There is a LOT of history here and a quick walk through will bring back lots of memories from history class.

Very cool old cemetery. Enjoyed reading the info boards and it was amazing to see graves so old back from 1700s.

Very interesting walk with very old headstones. It feels almost like being in the 1700s

Gorgeous and well maintained cemetery with lots of famous people

Peaceful spot near the busy downtown area. Historical plaques have lots of info.

The Granary Burying Ground dates to 1660 and is one of the most important historical cemeteries in Boston. Open from 9am to 5pm and located Tremont Street, near the northeast end of the Boston Common. This is the most interesting of the three cemetery attractions included on the Freedom Trail.There are important historical figures including John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Robert Treat Paine, Paul Revere as well as the five victims of the Boston Massacre. You can also see a obelisk monument marking the location of Benjamin Franklins parents resting place.You can stop by the Granary Burying Ground and conveniently see the important headstones and monuments in 10-15 minutes before being on your way to other sightseeing stops on the Freedom Trail.Note: If short on time, this is the burying ground that wed choose to visit first over that of the Kings Chapel and Copps Hill cemeteries.

Nice burial ground in heart of the city. Cool tombstones and there were tulips in the spring.

Part of freedom trail tour. Lots of important history people are buried in this small place.

Peaceful place in the heart of the city’s hustle and bustle. I contemplated while reading the gravestone markers, most of what I read were of people who died young. There were several signs throughout the burying ground showing resting spots of known people like John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin’s family, etc.

An entertaining little history trip - costumed tour guides regularly pass through.

The founder of America Samuel Adams is here and so is Jon handcocks. You have to see this place its way too important

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. Theres more than 2,000 graves, including those of prominent Bostonians like Paul Revere. We stayed for 20 minutes.

Nice burying ground to walk around and discover who rests there.

Stunning historic cemetery in Boston. We were surprised at some of the headstones. Its a very interesting and intriguing place with a ton of history!

Lot of historical figures buried here!Paul Revere, Sam Adams, John Hancock, Ben Franklins parents, Peter Faneuil, and more.

Historic place with so many famous names. Over 5k people are buried in this small burial ground that even branches off into small tunnels below.

Interesting place to tour and see the resting place of Mother Goose, Revere

The Granary Burying Ground is the final resting place for many of the New England greats, including: Samuel Adams, Peter Faneuil and John Hancock, Paul Revere.

US history on freedom trail. I enjoyed this trip and it is very interesting to see.

Unfortunately this cemetery closes at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday and we did not get to enter as the two security guards were just locking the gates. We just viewed it through the fence and we were so disappointed we did not get to stroll up and down the paths to read all these headstones. At least we did get to see Sam Adams headstone which can be seen through the fence. Next time in Boston we would make a point to get to this cemetery during the visiting hours as it is something to see! Highly recommend to check the web site for the hours of this cemetery.

What a beautiful cemetery with amazing history. Stumbled across this place while I was exploring and fell in love.

Ben Franklin and Paul Revere

Hours posted say open til 5, find out open til 4. Somehow the staff know this. So change the the info to be accurate for tourists, very poor experience of the freedom trail, very little freedom experienced.

Nice to see on the way to the garden.

Amazing old cemetery. Love the detail in the stones from the 18th century. Oh and Ben Franklins parents, John Hancock, and Paul Revere have memorials here.

This review is a bit out of date as I last visited the place in October 2017. Great place for history buffs, lots of fascinating history here. A handful of well know individuals and families are buried here. However, I was disappointed at the lack of accessibility to many of the gravestones. Many are located away from the paths and have extremely intricate designs that one would not want to miss. At most places you can venture onto the grass but apparently here they do not allow it to prevent damage. Additionally, many of the stones were extremely filthy, covered in years of dirt. A thorough cleaning would go a long way. A great spot but a ton of room for improvement!

So much feral ghouls in fallout 4

It was a nice experience walking through this old cemetery and seeing all of the famous people buried here. It’s hard to wrap my head around the length of time they’ve been there and how old the graves are. It’s something that should be checked or when visiting Boston at least once. I walked by this place many times but on my last visit I realized what it was and I had to go in.

A lot of history and founding fathers buried here. Very neat pace in Boston.

Probably most popular spot on the Freedom trail and it should be. Very historical location with free, invigorating, and informative tours. Even if you arent walking the freedom trail, stop in here and take part in the tour.

I arrived 10 minutes before closing and wasnt allowed to enter. I based my quick visits based on closing time. Closing time needs to be adjusted to when they wont allow guests to enter or it needs to be stated. Katie Orr

Creepy and cold this day in Boston but definitely funky to have this cemetery in the heart of town a skip from the Common. It is nice to pay homage to the pilgrims!

A historical burial ground with many famous names from the early founding history of the USA

Excellent cemetery with many famous Boston and early Americans. A quiet place in the middle of the hustle of the city.

Very small and quaint. Some very famous names in here and many tours going though. Can be busy but very pretty.

Powerful place to visit. Especially on a rainy day. Significant piece of history nestled in the middle of the city centre.

I liked it. Lots of old gravestones to explore (of course).

Interesting to go here and ponder about those that are buried here and what their lives must have been like. It makes me appreciate those that came before and help pave the way for the life I am able to lead now.

Cool little burial grounds located right in the middle of downtown, (adjacent to Boston Commons) and filled with famous Revolutionary Americans. Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and more. Ignore all the previous idiot reviews claiming Ben Franklin is buried here too. He isnt, just several of his family members. A must see if youre at all interested in Anerican history.

Just walking by and I see a grave stone with Samuel Adams on it, no way. One of the oldest cemeteries in the area established 1660.

Interesting place with lot of historical figures

Wow! So many famous people from history are buried here. There was a gentleman sitting at the front that had created his own maps and lets you borrow them. Very helpful.

Great history is buried here. It is a must see for anyone who visits Boston and enjoys history. I recommended reading up on it before you go or take the Freedom Trail tour to make sure you hit the highlights.

This hallowed site is the resting place for many famous founding fathers and Architects of our fledgling nation.Worn smooth with age are the stone markers of legendary giants of politics, science and craftsmen beyond compare.One of the oldest burial grounds in Boston, it is part of the historic walking tour known as the Freedom Trail.

Truly an amazing place. Take your time and read the stones.

You can learn a lot from just a quick walk through this burial ground and admission is free. Theres a gentleman at the entrance who will offer a folder that feautures a map and information of various gravestones.

Hidden gem right here in the heart of Boston. Lots of great history.

Stumbled upon this historic site while on the way to a conference. Until you take a few minutes to walk around you don’t realize how important this small area is. Cool spot for history buffs or those who appreciate how we got to where we are now... even if it’s just a little.

Many of our countries finest are here! Learned quite a bit from here looking atvthe different grave stones!

It can get a bit busy in here at times so its probably better to turn up in the morning. Theres plenty to see in this area and you are on the very edge of the common. Shops, bars and restaurants are all within a few minutes walk of here. Be aware that this area attracts some of the unsociable types you find in all cities and tend to congregate around the shops on the opposite side of the road. The Burying ground closes around 5pm.

Worth wandering into if youre 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.

If you like history, this is definitely worth a few visits. The stones are well preserved, partly because youre not allowed to walk everywhere around them. The artwork on them is informative and not like the generic stones of today.

A really poignant must-see for people who like to connect with peoples long gone. The old and broken gravestones, the infant graves, the beautiful messages left behind by mourners, its all very beautiful.

Brings shivers to one’s spine. An amazing place in history.

Dating back to 18th century. Over 1.000 people buried here, including prominent people in early history of Boston.

A great cemetery to visit and see the graves of Paul Revere, John Hancock, and Samuel Adams. There is a large monument to Franklin in the center, but Benjamin Franklin is not buried here. Hes buried in Philadelphia. This is a great place to see along the Freedom Trail.

Amazing graveyard to visit. Peaceful but busy. Contains John Hancock site and franklin monuments. It is free of charge to see, and a great place for American history enthusiasts. A must see.

Im visiting Boston and Ive tried to visit twice now with the gates being locked and no access. Pretty disappointed as this was on my list to see while here.

A small place bursting with history. A lot of freedom fighters are buried here. Walk around to find little details and read the epitaphs. Its an amazing and different experience.

Walked through it pretty quickly in an attempt to see as much of Boston as we could in a limited time. Was a neat place, especially if you like history. Definitely worth checking out in my opinion.

I was humbly unaware that this historic treasure existed in the city and was so accessible to the public. Really a must see for all. I will definitely revisit the site on my next trip to Boston

I liked walking through the burying ground and seeing all the different names. Such history to be had in such a small location. However, youd be better off going on the freedom trail tours. Going in the burying ground by yourself without a historian or tour guide isnt as informative.

Great history here, and the volunteer-info packets handed out by a few gentleman here were incredible amounts of information but not overwhelming. Strongly recommend this stop if youre around the area.

Its easy to walk right past this great find along the Freedom Trail. Inside the cemetery is where both Paul Revere and Samuel Adams are buried. Its pretty quiet here as I think a lot of people miss it.

Its a cemetery. There are graves of famous people (poorly preserved and the most famous of which is arguably Paul Revere) and the oldest stone in Boston. More can be done with tech to make this a better tour.

Refused to let us in 15 minutes before closing time !

Interesting historical spot. All star line up of early american history.

I really am not a history buff, but we did the tour, and this was a wonderful thing to see. I sat and visited with Paul Revere for an hour. It was a nice and pleasant experience, and I felt a much better understanding for our history. I was impressed. It is relaxing and enjoyable. This is a must see.

Lots of History at this location -- make it a stop on the Freedom Trail!

Just a small church burial yard, but with an impressive roster of interments. Since its right along the Freedom Trail, it doesnt take a tourist out of the way to wander through for a few minutes. A reminder that time flies.

It isnt often you get to see history this up-close. I was amazed by this place. Make sure to use s guide to find all the famous sites!

The tours here look cute (didnt take one, but was here on my own and overheard a minute or two of one) and theres a lot of history to be had in a compact space. Best of all, no trash on the ground!

Some of our founding fathers are here. Very cool place to visit.FYI, the giant Franklin tomb is NOT Benjamin Franklins burial site. He is buried in Philadelphia.

Its a great place to see the historical figures of Boston. The cemetery is small but nice. Some monuments of John Hancock or Benjamin Franklin are worth to see. The only negative point is the noise from traffic. The cemetery is close to a busy road.

Historical site of many of those before us

People are saying its underwhelming, but its worth it none the less. Some notables buried here: John Hancock, Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, Ben Franklins parents, and Mother Goose.The gravestones are interesting to look at in general, even for the everyday citizens we dont remember, because of the details on them. Also, theres one gravestone near the Franklin Obelisk, looks like its made of onyx, which makes it stand out because of color and since it hasnt deteriorated like most of the stone tablets.

I never get tired of visiting, I love this place, peaceful and beautiful

I liked the cemitey it was good and you didnt have to pay it was free and samel adams was buried there

Cool history but the Feral Ghouls chased me away

Great preservation of this cemetery! It also offers enough information about the place and whose lie in there

Amazing to be surrounded by such historical figures. Never thought Id be excited to visit a burial ground but it was amazing to walk through.

What an honor to be at the very grounds that so many Patriots have been laid to rest at.

Burial grounds for many of the Founding Fathers including Paul Revere, John Hancock, and Sam Adams. A must-do on the Freedom Trail.

Awesome site for someone that is into history such as my self. The stones are amazing to look at and read.

A must stop historical site, to pay your respects to the people that helped form this great country.

Don’t miss. Several major graves here to see. Doesnt take too much time.

Inspiring if you appreciate history
