The Old Burying Ground
We kind of happened across this place, I had heard of it but didn't really realize where it was in Halifax or how cool it really was! It was so neat to walk around and spend time reading about the people who were first generation Canadians. Such a neat and odd atmosphere but stunningly beautiful.

This place is seriously steeped in history. So many more people are buried here than the headstones suggest. I recommend booking a tour and reading up on a bit since this is one of the oldest in North America

Please do not call the phone number listed. It isn't associated with Old Burying Ground any longer. Please contact OBG via email on the website. Thanks so much.

What can one say? This truly remarkable historic cemetery right in the middle of downtown Halifax, is WELL worth a visit, even if you pass it every day on your way to work, as many folks do, without giving it more than a passing glance. Has an INSANE number of very historic and interesting headstones to explore, and is also large enough for a quick retreat" from the hustle and bustle of city life. Very well maintained in addition. We are QUITE fortunate to have such a place so well preserved

Picture-worthy attraction in downtown Halifax with a long history dating back to the city's founding in 1749. Information posters by the entrance contain interesting tidbits about the place.

A beautiful and peaceful place for a quiet walk among the ancient dead. Volunteers are on hand for tours by donation. A must see.

We got a “by donation” tour from Geordi, the resident tour guide-slash-groundskeeper and it was the best tour I’ve taken in ages. Fascinating stories, just the right amount of depth, more historic than macabre. Really enjoyable and top notch. If you are at all interested in the history of Halifax, this place should not be missed!

It's a really cool old cemetery with old headstones. I originally thought titanic victims were buried here, but they're not. Wish there was some more information with historical notes. There's a few signs, but not too much
