King's Chapel Burying Ground

OverviewVersions

Description

King's Chapel Burying Ground is a historic graveyard on Tremont Street, near its intersection with School Street, in Boston, Massachusetts. Established in 1630, it is the oldest graveyard in Boston and is a site on the Freedom Trail. The Burying Ground is the site of many colonial and revolutionary figures' burials, including Winthrop, John. Despite its name, the graveyard pre-dates the adjacent King's Chapel (whose first structure was built in 1688); it is not affiliated to that or any other church.

It is currently administered by Boston's Cemetery Division.
