The Granary Burying Ground in Massachusetts is a cemetery located in the city of Boston that dates all the way back to 1660. It is filled with significant memorials and monuments, such as the obelisk erected in 1827 to honour the parents and relatives of Benjamin Franklin, along with a number of notable burials such as Paul Revere and the other victims of the Boston Massacre. The Burying Ground has also been improved over time, with the last refurbishment taking place in 2011 at a cost of $300,000 which included widening paths and providing new observation sites. Today, it remains an important part of Boston's history and a popular tourist attraction.
