Before you go

The theater and burying ground may have limited hours. Their exteriors and nearby public streets make the route worthwhile on their own.

These are desk-researched route ideas, not field-tested turn-by-turn or accessibility guides. Use the walking map, follow signs and crossings, and check current conditions and opening hours.
