Comment: I was really looking forward to this tour and it certainly didn't disappoint. Ed, our group leader, was incredibly knowledgeable about the four cemeteries we visited, and I learned so many interesting details about the Chinese teenager buried in the late 1700s in the Central Burial Ground, the British bullet marks defacing Colonial tombstones in the Copps Hill Burying Ground, etc. It all made for such a fascinating day. Many thanks, Ed!
Comment: Thanks to Ed for leading us through an exploration of the burial grounds in downtown Boston. Beautiful day to learn from Ed about life and death in the young days of Boston. I believe Ed leads this event annually - certainly an event not to be missed.
