‘I stood on the bridge at midnight, As the clocks were striking the hour’ begins the poem by which author?

Very interesting. Also I didn’t know Massachusetts was ever different than it is today.

Longfellow is buried in the family plot in Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cabridge and Watertown, where many people come to see his resting place, as well as graves of quite a few well known people. It's a beautiful place to visit, with lovely old marble monuments, and an impressive botanical collection.
