Boston Graveyards

One of the more interesting things we saw in Boston were the 17th and 18th century gravestones. These were not happy, peaceful tombstones. No, they were filled with skulls, reminders of death, and most were decidedly morbid. But hey, they’re fun to look at. Can you make out the skull on this 17th century gravestone?

Maybe a pirate is buried here.

This one is my favorite of all. It’s actually a controversial grave site, but it makes a fun story. Can you guess which famous person was supposedly buried here? More of the story can be find by clicking here.
