Sloping onto a lonely hilltop overlooking Plymouth, Burial Hill has the rare distinction of being the final resting place of many of America’s earliest settlers. Look for the grave of Squanto, a Patuxet tribesman who aided the Pilgrims’ survival through their first winter in Plymouth. Governor William Bradford, who led the Congregationalist separatist group and produced one of the few lasting literary documents of the Pilgrim era, *Of Plymouth Plantation*, is also buried here. Before it became a cemetery, Burial Hill’s location made it the ideal place for the Plymouth Colonists’ defensive fort. Following its time as a fort, the hill became a meeting hall and congregational centre for the First Parish Church in Plymouth. Look among the tombstones here today for graves dating back to the 17th century. Appreciate the ornate etchings on many of the tombstones, which include images of winged skulls, funerary rituals and religious symbolism. Although these tombstones are not the original wooden grave markers that the Pilgrims used, they are nonetheless precious historical documents. The oldest known one belongs to Edward Grey, who was buried in 1681\. Another grave from around that time is that of politician and Revolutionary War hero James Warren. The cemetery is closed from dusk till dawn, however, there is a chance to visit in the evening as part of the lantern-lit Dead of Night Ghost Tour. Listen to colourful stories about Burial Hill and other haunted sites in Plymouth. If you don’t take a guided tour, be sure to purchase or download Perkins’ *The Handbook of Old Burial Hill*. In this 1902 reference, find all the information you need for an informed visit to the cemetery. Enter the cemetery from Leyden Street, Plymouth’s oldest street. If you enter from the base of Burial Hill you’ll notice the First Parish Church building, which since 1899 has hosted the same services that were once given on Burial Hill. Visit Burial Hill for a stroll through American history and an unbeatable view of Plymouth Harbour. ## Plan a trip to see Burial Hill Price found within the past 48 hours.

Room was also right on top and I mean right on top of the elevator, so pretty steady stream of noise into our room from there.

Do NOT listen to all of the negative reviews. When I first found this listing I was really unsure because there was so many bad reviews. I took a chance and booked anyway. The stay was phenomenal. Check in was super easy and the company/host was very responsive. Very close to train station as well. They sent text messages and even let us know the room was ready for check in around 2pm instead of waiting until 4pm check in. The room was super clean and nice. No issues with anything. Great location walking distance to downtown, south end, china town and more. For the negative comments about shared bathrooms- they are perfectly fine!! We passed them several times in our 5 day stay and they were super clean and the halls smelled really good. The only thing that could be a little better was hotter water for showering but outside of that amazing stay and shower was still warm. I made sure to take pictures because with all of the negative reviews- photos help.
