Franklin Cemetery is a small family cemetery founded by Arnold Franklin (1787-1856) and is the last resting place of Arnold and many of his direct family and relatives. It is located opposite the original Franklin family homestead in North Abington Township, Pennsylvania which was established around 1815 after Arnold and his wife, Rhoda Colvin, moved from Providence, Rhode Island. The most recent memorial in the cemetery is that of George Patterson (husband of Cora Belle Franklin, Arnold's great-granddaughter) who was laid to rest in January 1970.

Having fallen into disrepair over recent years, Franklin Cemetery has now been cleaned up and is currently maintained by Arnold Franklin's great-great-great-granddaughter.
