The Spring 2014 newsletter from the Historic Burying Grounds Initiative contains a update on the restoration project recently completed at Copp’s Hill Burying Ground in Boston’s North End. The restored fence on Charter Street was installed last October, but a special bird’s head spigot took extra time to be cast.
