Beautiful old cemetery.

ボストンでの一番古い墓地。キングスチャペルと合わせて、フリーダムトレイルの沿いにある名所となっています。(2026年4月)

I was walking on the Freedom Trail and passed this. Had to stop and check it out.

Even though it may be small, this little cemetery has lots of notable gravestones.

Gravestones at the back aren't taken care of very well and the graveyard is washing/eroding away.

We visited on a Wednesday morning in mid-June 2025. We were doing this as part of the Freedom Trail and we spent about 10 mins looking through the grounds and taking pictures. The King's Chapel itself did not open until 10AM and there were other sites that we really wanted to hit so we didn't stay too long. The Kings Chapel offers a History Program Tour Mon-Sat but from 10-5PM but not sure if the burying grounds is part of the tour or not. One of the more interesting structures was an ornate gated hole in the ground which turned out to be a vent for the underground subway system in the city.

Incredible building. Old churches are so beautiful. Add to that the history that's taken place here, and you just gotta see it.

I love all burying ground and this is a beautiful one. I love the setting in between the old buildings of Boston. This is Boston's oldest burial ground. John Winthrop, Massachusetts' First Governor, as well as Mary Chilton, the first woman to step off the Mayflower, are both buried here.
