Copp's Hill Burying Ground is one of the oldest and most historic cemeteries in Boston. Located in the city's North End, it was founded in 1659 and has been known as a spiritual focal point in the community for hundreds of years. The cemetery contains more than 1,200 marked graves, including the remains of notorious Bostonians from colonial times to the mid-1800s. It serves as an important reminder of Boston’s past and continues to attract tourists and photographers today. Notable residents include Increase Mather, Cotton Mather, Samuel Mather, Prince Hall, Shem Drowne, and Phillis Wheatley. Copp's Hill Burying Ground is an interesting and meaningful site that should not be missed when visiting Boston.
