The next stop is the Granary Burying Ground which is the final resting place for many of America’s well-known patriots such as Samuel Adams, Peter Faneuil, Paul Revere, and John Hancock. The Granary Burying Ground is open daily 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
King’s Chapel
The next stop is King’s Chapel. The building of King's Chapel began in 1688 by the Royal Governor. He had to build it on the town burial ground because nobody would sell him land to build a non-Puritan church. The interior of King’s Chapel is considered the finest example of Georgian church architecture in North America. The chapel is open in summer on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. In winter, it is only open on Saturdays from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Services are Wednesdays at 12:15 pm and Sundays at 11:00am. Concerts are held every Tuesday at 12:15 pm and Sunday at 5:00 pm.
King's Chapel Burying Ground
The King's Chapel Burying Ground was Boston's only burying place for nearly 30 years. Some of Massachusetts Bay Colony's finest citizens rest here. John Winthrop, the Colony's first governor; William Dawes, Jr., who rode with Paul Revere to Lexington and Concord; and Mary Chilton, the first woman to step off the Mayflower in Plymouth Colony, are just a few of the early settlers resting here. The burying ground is open daily from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
The Old City Hall
The Old City Hall is the next stop on the trail. Outside the Old City Hall is a statue of Benjamin Franklin. While you’re there, take a moment to notice the plaque below it to mark the site of the country’s first Public School, Boston Latin.
The Old Corner Bookstore
The Old Corner Bookstore Building is the next stop. It was a thriving literary center in the mid-1800s. It is open in winter Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm and Saturdays from 9:30 am to 5:00pm.
