Christ Church Burial Ground
Description
The original cemetary of Christ Church is the final resting place of the most famous member of the congegration, Bejamin Franklin (1706-1790). His marker, and that of his wife Deborah, are along the north fence. It's traditional to toss a penny on his marble tombstone for luck, though Franklin once wrote "A penny saved is a penny earned."
