Visiting the historic Granary Burying Ground - Boston, MA
Recorded December 15, 2012. Located right in the heart of Boston's historic district and just around the block from the Massachusetts statehouse is one of the city's oldest cemeteries. The historic Granary Burying Ground was established in 1660 and has managed to age well thanks to visitor friendly renovations. Despite its small size-the entire grounds can be easily walked in just a few minutes-it contains the final resting places of several founding fathers and important Revolutionary War era patriots. Incredibly, historians estimate there may be as many as 5,000 people laid to rest within Granary despite there only being around 2,000 headstones. The graves of Samuel Adams, the victims of the Boston Massacre, John Hancock, Paul Revere and Declaration of Independence signer Robert Treat Paine are highlighted in this brief jaunt. The large pyramid in the middle of the grounds contains the remains of Benjamin Franklin's parents.

In the holy field lie the remains of important citizens. In it are buried three signatories of the declaration of independence of the United States: Samuel Adams, John Hancock and Robert Treat Paine. It is estimated that 5,000 people are buried in the cemetery.
