8 Historic MA Cemeteries Worth Exploring This Halloween
From centuries-old gravestones to the final resting places of famous figures, these Bay State cemeteries offer a glimpse into the past. Historic Massachusetts cemeteries are often overlooked for Halloween activities due to their centuries-old burial grounds, monuments, and final resting places of notable historical figures. The list includes Old Burying Point Cemetery in Salem, which dates back to at least 1637 and is the oldest European burial ground in Salem. The Granary Burying Ground in Boston was established in 1660 and is home to notable figures such as Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and victims of the Boston Massacre. The cemetery contains approximately 2,345 gravestones and tombs, and is also a stop along Boston's historic Freedom Trail. Despite sharing its name with the setting of Washington Irving's ghost story, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord is known for its literary history.
