The greatest graveyards are places of hope, heroes, and history. Seven American graveyards should rightly be distinguished as the most significant repositories of early American history, of saints, and of patriots. Boston boasts the great trinity of American graveyards: The Old Granary, King’s Chapel, and Copps Hill Burial Ground. From my perspective, Burial Hill in Plymouth (with Copps Hill a close second) is the most meaningful of the great cemeteries. Outside of Massachusetts, the most important historical cemeteries are Christ’s Church in Philadelphia, Princeton Cemetery in New Jersey, and Hollywood Park in Richmond.
