On my second day in Philadelphia, I paid the $2 fee to enter the Christ Church Burial Grounds. Founded in 1719 it is the final resting place of many names from history that I recognize. Franklin being the most famous, of course.
In addition to Franklin, I learned the tomb of John Andrews D.D. was also in this burial ground. Andrews was the founder of York College of Pennsylvania in 1787.

I had only an hour to photograph the burial grounds before they closed for the day. I would have like to note the name of each person’s tombstone I photographed, but there just wasn’t time.
Enjoy!
