Burial Hill — Attraction in Plymouth

I have visited over 100 burial grounds across New England the Plymouth's Burial Hill Cemetery is one of my favorites. It sits atop a steep hill right next to the city center and has a wide variety of very well preserved grave stones. I particularly like grave stones hand carved before 1800 and Burial Hill cemetery has many different styles. I like the small paved pathways that wind through the cemetery and the trees that provide shade in summer. When visiting Plymouth this is one of the "must see" spots. The last three times I visited they were carefully preserving...

No trip to Plymouth would be complete without visiting Burial Hill Cemetery. Be sure to find William Bradford's grave and read the inscription: "Qua patres difficillime adepti sunt nolite turpiter relinquere." When you've translated this quote, and much more importantly figured out WHY Bradford's grave gives us this challenge, you'll be much closer to understanding the story of the Pilgrims. Love history? Then continue exploring by visiting "The Jenney" in Plymouth, the Mayflower II, and Plimoth Plantation - all three...

This is a beast of a place to navigate on wheels but it’s so amazing to see!

Found William Bradford, as expected, but some unexpected people too, like Adoniram Judson (Missionary in Burma for many years).

This place is entirely uphill and slanted. It was hell exploring. Hopefully I didn’t kill my body.

There is street parking down the hill by the church, but then you have to ascend a million stairs! There is also a lot behind the hill. It’s $10 I think...
