This cemetery is a veritable who's who of early America. Benjamin Franklin is buried here, along with four other signers or the Declaration of Independence. Wander through the cemetery, and you'll also spot markers for historic leaders in the fields of medicine, politics, and academics. The tradition of tossing a penny through the formerly locked gates to honor Franklin continues, and informative walking tours of the site are offered daily. If inclined, you may also walk through on your own, viewing the old headstones, walking the small pathways about the cemetery, and taking in the many names that played a role in the making of this country.
