Nestled next to the First Unitarian Church at 0 Church St, the Old Burying Ground of Cambridge runs along Massachusetts Avenue and Garden Street. Buried here are many notable Cantabrigians. The marker lies along the fence adjacent to Massachusetts Avenue, and reads:
"Old Burying Ground - Burial place of old settlers, tory landowners and slaves, soldiers, presidents of Harvard, and prominent men of Cambridge."

Visit Instructions:
When logging a Massachusetts Historic Marker, we ask that you not only describe your visit, but to upload a picture from it. The picture does not have to be of the marker - one picture of the marker is enough. But a photo of you standing next to the marker or a photograph the subject of the marker - those are examples of possible photographs to upload.
