Description: The Myles Standish Burial Ground, located in Duxbury, Massachusetts, is one of the oldest maintained cemeteries in the United States, dating back to the 17th century. Named after the famed military leader of the Plymouth Colony, Myles Standish, the burial ground serves as the final resting place for many of the colony's early settlers, including Standish himself. The site, which spans approximately 1.5 acres, is a significant historical landmark, offering a glimpse into the early colonial era with its weathered gravestones and monuments. Managed by the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society, the burial ground is not only a place of reverence and remembrance but also a valuable educational resource, attracting historians, genealogists, and visitors interested in America's early history.
