Copp's Hill Burying Ground
Prince Hall is buried in the Historic Copp's Hill Burying Ground in Boston along with other notable Bostonians from the colonial era. Also, thousands of African Americans who lived in the community at the base of Copp's Hill are buried in unmarked graves. Prince Hall's grave is marked, and the inscription reads:
- "Here lies ye body of Prince Hall, first Grand Master of the colored Grand Lodge in Mass. Died Dec. 7, 1807"
A tribute monument was erected in Copp's Hill on June 24, 1835 in his name next to his grave marker. (see image in above section). See also: other memorials and ceremonies
