Old Granary Burying Ground, Boston [UNITED STATES]

Adjacent to Park Street Church is one of the more tranquil stops on the always-busy Freedom Trail, the Old Granary Burying Ground , final resting place for numerous leaders of the American Revolution.
Revere’s original engraving of the Boston Massacre, on display in the Old State House, did much to turn public opinion against the Tories, and he even went so far as to stage an exhibition of more patriotic prints at his North End home on the first anniversary of the incident. During the Revolution, Revere engraved the Massachusetts
currency, though a more profitable venture was his post-war bell-and-cannon foundry in Canton, located just south of Boston. After siring a brood of sixteen, he died in 1818 at the age of 83, and rests among his Revolutionary peers in the Old Granary Burying Ground.
