Twining Cemetery is located about 2 miles west of the Tolland Town Hall on Route 57 (West Granville Road) just before the overhead sign warning of Steep Curves leading to New Boston. Turn northward up a 600 foot driveway, a round-a-bout circles the modern section that takes new burials. The older section with about 80-90 burials is in the back on a small hill with a stone wall enclosing it.

About 1884, the stone wall was built by Twining ancestors then living, a gate installed and a driveway built. The gate is now gone, but the walls remain giving character to the site. The burials are mostly of the Twining Family. Many of the graves are marked only by field stones with no names and many foot stones with just initials. First burial is Elijah Twining in 1802. He and his brother Thomas came out from Cape Cod with their families as early settlers of the Tolland section of Granville before 1800.
