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.
