Head stone of Mother Goose photo by JoeyBLS Photography at www.joeyblsphotography.com
Okay so maybe this is common knowledge, but I had no idea until now that Mother Goose is thought to be buried in the Granary Burial Grounds dead smack dab in the middle of Boston, MA. Mary Goose died at the young age of 42 in 1690.
Many argue that this is not her actual resting place but ask a Bostonian and they will stand their ground that this is indeed the headstone of Old Mother Goose.
Mary Goose is neighbor to Paul Revere and John Hancock, just to name a couple…
As always your experience, suggestions and questions are enjoyed! Happy fairytale travels!
Does it actually say Mother Goose on the tombstone?
It says Mary Goose, that was her real name… there is a bit of speculation on this one but it’s a fun idea. I’ll be in Boston, and I’m totally going to this cemetery. Seems like a must do for me lol.
Hey I have a favor to ask you… I’ll email you.
Anytime.
