As far as driving in Boston - DON'T !!! :E
Take the MBTA ("T"). Visit the visitor's building for literature on things to do.
If you visit the Old Granary Burial -- a fun factoid the the tour guides neglect to explain follows...
Around 1900 it was decided to gussy up the appearance of the site by pressure washing the grave stones. They stacked the stones against the buildings abutting the cemetery and pressure washed them.
When it came time to place them where they belong.........oh oh. Forgot that one minor detail, you guessed it. :R Forgot to log the location of each stone's original placement within the cemetery before they started moving them for washing.
Soooo -- only the larger permanent monuments are placed where the deceased person is buried because they were never moved.!
