King's Chapel and The Granary are two of the oldest
burial grounds in Boston dating back to the 1600's.
The Granary is behind the Park Street church and got it's name from the Gain building that used to be on that spot.
You will find many famous folk in these two graveyards.
To get there take the T to Park Street Station, either Red or Green Line.
When you exit the Station you will see the big brick and wood church that is Park Street Church, cross Park Street and just after the church on your left will be the Granary.
When you leave the Granary go left and keep walking down Tremont to the next set of lights, that is Beacon Street.
Cross Beacon and then cross over Tremont and King's Chapel is right there!
You can also get there via the Blue Line by exiting at the Government Center stop.
As you leave the subway, circle around the underground entrance and head left following Center Plaza, which is that big curved building across the street.
Follow Tremont and before you get to the Beacon Street Traffic lights, King's Chapel will be on your left.
If you look out the back of the burial grounds, you will see the Old City Hall and a statue of Ben Franklin.
When you leave King's Chapel, head left, cross at the lights and up ahead on your left is the Granary, right behind Park Street Church.
