Book Description

Excerpt from Handbook of Old Burial Hill: Plymouth, Massachusetts; Its History, Its Famous Dead, and Its Quaint Epitaphs Visited as it is daily by tourists from all parts of the world, it is fitting that this consecrated ground should be well cared for and that its surroundings should be somewhat in keeping with its historic character. By the will of J. Henry Stickney of Baltimore, late vice-president of the Pilgrim Society, is bequeathed for improvements on this ground. It has been suggested that the legacy beused in removing some, at least, of the unsightly buildings which skirt the foot of the hill on the easterly side, and in the erection of an ornamental gateway at the Town Square entrance. There are several ways of approaching Burial Hill, but the main entrance is at Town Square. As we pass through the gateway the new First Church, now in process of building looms up on our left.
