Burial Hill is the oldest cemetery in Plymouth dating back to colonial
times. Before it became a cemetery, it was the site of the first fort,
meeting house, and place of worship. On the tour you will walk through
Burial Hill and view the oldest tombstone, visit the site of the 1st fort,
find out the real reason why people bought family vaults in the 1800's,
and visit many more interesting gravesites. You will also see many
different engravings on tombstones and learn what they really mean. The
engravings that you commonly see on older tombstones have a lot of
symbolic meaning to them. From the large pictures to the tiny detail,
almost every mark on a gravestone represents something significant to the
deceased.
Hear why spirits roam these winding paths, and learn how to capture them
on film. So be sure to bring your camera and get ready to see what it is
to be a ghost hunter. |
