This is a picture of Samuel Adams actual grave at the Granary Burying Ground, next to Park Street Church. As you might guess, it is a very old cemetery with a number of well-known revolutionaries buried here. I found a grave of someone who had died in 1688. The guy in the costume to the left of the headstone is a tour guide. We didn't take the guided tour, but there was a group at Adams' grave while we were there so we sneaked around them to get a good shot of the headstone. This was the first of two (maybe three...I can't remember) old burying grounds along the Freedom Trail. It's hard to believe that some of the people buried in these cemeteries have been buried for more than 300 years. That's pretty amazing!
