Photo Gallery: Graveyard Walk

First of a series of Walking Tours in Brookline, which took place in the Old Burying Ground.

The first of the year's walking tours series kicked off at the Old Burying Ground. The tour, lead by Tom Elwertowski, was an intriguing look at how the graveyard evolved over the years from a humble burying ground to a prestigious cemetery. The Friends of the Old Burying Ground group also distributed a Brochure with more information on the history of the site.
