Really, Really Old Burial Ground

by Brendan McDonough and Robert Anglin

During our visit to the Boston Common, we visited the Central Burial Ground (http://www.celebrateboston.com/ghost/central-burying-ground-ghost.htm)

which dates back to 1756. This cemetery is in the dead center (no pun intended) in the middle of the Boston Common and also is a huge attraction to people who are planning on traveling to Boston.This Burial Ground is where Paul Revere is buried, and other famous people. Revere was one of the founding fathers of America, and we visited his house earlier in the year. According to www.cityofboston.gov “It was established to alleviate overcrowding at King's Chapel, Copp's Hill and Granary Burying Grounds.” Which means that the other nearby cemeteries were OVERFLOWING! Gross!

Boston Common was a very good experience for me and my friends because we got to see
amazing sceneries, and we also got to taste a lot of different flavor options of pizza (Sal's Pizza highly recommended... next to Suffolk University Law School).
