Upper Burial Ground

The Upper Burial Ground is a cemetery in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is notable as the last resting place of 58 American soldiers from the Battle of Germantown in the American Revolution. Here also lies many of the founders of Germantown, including William Dewees, sheriff of Germantown's independent government. Also buried here is Zachariah Poulson, who died in 1844 after having published The American Daily Advertiser, Philadelphia's principal daily newspaper for many years. One of the earliest stones is Cornelius Tyson who arrived in Germantown in 1684 and died in 1716 at age 63. It is adjacent to the Concord School House.

The Upper Burial Ground is a contributing property of the Colonial Germantown Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
