We enjoyed the free tour of the burial ground so much that we made a voluntary donation. The guide provided very interesting information about the headstones and yard layout, so much so that we visited another graveyard later armed with our new knowledge. Definitely worth the stop.

Many of the old headstones-some from the late 1700's were vandalized and now there is an effort to restore. It is very quite on a busy road, Government House is across the street, and being with those who have passed on can be a very calming experience

History grave sites with many of the first settlers of Halifax buried there. A walk through this site will paint a picture of the early life in the city. A great place to visit if you are a visitor.

The gravestones are very old and interesting to look at, if you're into that sort of thing. It's easy just to pop in for... More

It is very serene and interesting place to go and read some of the tombstones and read the history behind them.

A very nice graveyard in the city. Lots of very interesting tombstones. The number of very young people buried there (young adults as well as infants) is very sad. Good to go there and pay ones respects.
