Where is the Granary Burial Ground in Boston? Is there a good map that shows its location?

Easy to find. It's on the corner of Tremont and Park - right next to Boston Common at the bottom of the hill the State House is on -

here is one link:

here is a good thing to take with you - tells you where to find specific graves -

It's on the freedom trail : here's a link to maps, info, etc.

can you walk there from the aquarium?

Is it still locked? Last time we were there it was locked up for some reason that I can't recall.

It was locked for awhile, vandalism and repairs - I think it is reopen, but honestly I can not promise that it is. You could inquire thru the Freedom Trail line.

Yes, you can walk there from the Aquarium if you are an able walker - hard to asnwer that - can you walk? do you like to walk? it is not far - but I will walk from the North End to the South End and then to the Symphony.... do you wear comfortable shoes and are you a walker?

Boston is a walking city. It is small, it is easily navigated by foot - you are, when walking to various sites either along the freedom trail or not, always passing cafes, places you can stop and rest, etc -

So you could walk from the waterfront and pass many wonderful things and part of the Freedom trail along the way - look at that link I gave yuo to the freedom trail, it has maps and the mileage I believe of the entire trail.

You can also hop on and off the trolley and use that for transportation as well as the T and cabs.

it was also locked that day the scavenger hunt / ad campaign had hidden something in there - but AI think that was just for a day - we are trying to remember and when that was exactly but can't ! -

I was by at a random date that I do not recall this summer and it was locked.

the first post of mine had links for the granary info- maybe with people finding it locked your best bet is to call the numbers on those links and ask
