No one knows exactly when the old fort site started to be used as a cemetery, but it was the second cemetery in Plymouth.
I’ve been to Burial Hill twice with my first visit in 2015. My husband, a Massachusetts native, and I were visiting friends and family in the area (for Thanksgiving of all holidays). We ended up on a ghost tour one night that went through the cemetery. Then on a trip to MA in 2023, with the intent to photograph the cemetery for a book proposal, I spent several hours wandering its paths. It is a classic old New England cemetery and no trip to Plymouth is complete without a visit there.
