The Burying Point

Join me on a visit to Charter Street Cemetery AKA The Burying Point in Salem, Massachusetts.

This cemetery has been used as a burying ground since at least 1637. It includes several notable burials:

•Richard More, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richa...) the only passenger of the Mayflower with a documented gravesite. (7:34)

•Simon Bradstreet, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon... one of the founders and governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony (4:05)

•John Hathorne, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_... ancestor of Nathaniel Hawthorne and a magistrate involved in the Salem witch trials. (1:11)
