PrintIf you're walking along the 300 block of Oliver Avenue you can climb a few steps to the Trinity Burial Ground and walk directly into the past. The site's history as a final resting place dates back centuries -- it was originally an Indian burial ground. Beginning in the 1760s, the remains of French and British soldiers were buried there. Many of the gravestones are cracked and worn, others are blackened with age. Thanks to a years-long restoration project, the burial ground is now a green place of respite for workers and residents of downtown.
