The first pilgrim burial ground is at Cole’s Hill. But Fort Hill (now called Burial Hill) is the second burial ground of the pilgrims dating back to the 1620s. The oldest headstones were made of wood and no longer exist, but the grave site locations have been preserved.

Several notable people are buried here:
Mary Allerton, pilgrim, last surviving passenger
William Bradford, pilgrim, second Governor of the Plymouth Colony
John Howland, pilgrim
William Brewster, pilgrim, Puritan Church Elder
Squanto, Patuxet guide and interpreter (unmarked grave)
