Copp's Hill Burying Ground
Copp's Hill Burying Ground, Colonial cemetery in North End, Boston, US.
Located at Hull Street and Snowhill Road, this burial ground covers a hillside containing over 10,000 graves marked with weathered stone monuments and tablets.
The cemetery, founded in 1659, served as a British artillery position during the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775, with cannons firing upon Charlestown.
The ground contains graves of merchants, artisans, and free African Americans, including notable figures like Prince Hall, founder of Black Freemasonry in North America.
Visitors can access the cemetery daily between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM through the main entrance at 45 Hull Street in Boston's North End.
The tombstone of Captain Daniel Malcolm displays bullet marks from British soldiers who used the grave markers for target practice during their occupation.
