Granary Cemetery
Here lie buried most of the personages of Historic Boston. Nine early governors—Bellingham, Dummer, Hancock, Bowdoin, Eustis, Sumner, Adams, Sullivan and Gore. Also Peter Faneuil, Paul Revere, the parents of Benjamin Franklin, Robert Treat Paine, who was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, Mary Goose (Mother Goose), and Thomas Fleet, who arranged and published the Mother Goose Rhymes. Here also lie buried in one grave Crispus Attucks, Patrick Carr, James Caldwell, Samuel Maverick and Samuel Gray, who were the victims of the Boston Massacre. Buried in the same grave with these men is Christopher Snyder, a twelve year old boy, the only person to lose his life at the famous Boston Tea Party.
Leaving the Granary Cemetery, we cross Tremont Street and turn left toward School Street, on the corner of which stands
KING’S CHAPEL
