Old Granary Burying Ground

The Old Granary Burying Ground is a location in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston in 2287. It is the third stop on the Freedom Trail.

Background
This burial ground was established in 1660, located on Tremont Street. It took its current name from a granary built on the adjacent plot in 1737. The granary was torn down and replaced by the Park Street Church in 1809, but the name persisted. Although it was the city of Boston's third-oldest cemetery, the city's expansion consumed the other two burial grounds, making it the oldest surviving burial ground in Boston. Many famous Revolutionary War heroes were buried here, including John Hancock, Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, Shem Drowne, and the victims of the Boston Massacre. In 2031, after the tragic death of Emilia Butler, the city council voted unanimously to have her remains interred here. However, now the grave site is filled with feral ghouls.

Layout
The Old Granary burying ground is a small cemetery near the Massachusetts State House. It consists of a small section with several rows of headstones, many of which are toppled. An obelisk in the center rear is the most prominent, with the name "Franklin" on it. Just outside is a parked bus, and feral ghouls wander around the cemetery and on the bus.

This is a simple plot with several gravestones, centered around a memorial obelisk. A dead Gunner and a duffle bag are tucked into into the right corner of the plot.

Behind the scenes

 * The location is based on the real-world Granary Burying Ground in Boston. The real-world Granary Burying Ground is vastly larger, and judging by the size comparison of Park Street Church to the southwest, it would appear that the large brick building with the billboard for Back Bay Bowling was built on top of half of the original cemetery.
 * The Franklin obelisk is similar to one in the real world, as a memorial to several members of Benjamin Franklin's family. Benjamin Franklin himself is buried in Philadelphia.
