After the State House we saw the Park Street Church and from
there went back to the Commons for lunch. |

The next stop was the Granary Burying Ground where we saw the
graves of Paul Revere, Sam Adams, Peter Faneuil, John Hancock
and "Mother Goose". We also saw where the 5 victims
of the Boston Masacre were buried. To the right is John Hancocks
burial site.
