Barton Memorial Park Cemetery, originally known as Cherry Hill, was the original burial ground in Boynton for the African-American community. Because very few records exist, it cannot be established when the first burial took place or who exactly is buried there. A list from the 1970s shows 56 burials, but only 33 are named and the rest are listed as unknown. The list was compiled before the construction of Interstate-95, which was originally designed to pass through the cemetery. Although remains from the cemetery were to be relocated to make way for the new road, research suggests the road was realigned and no remains were moved. By the late 1970s, the cemetery was in poor condition. Concerns raised by the community led the City to clean the site and create the park to the south. The park was named Barton Memorial Park in honor of the Barton family. Mary Barton was instrumental in promoting improvements to the site, and her son Alton is buried in the cemetery. The grave markers show a variety of styles and materials, and several were made by scratching the deceased’s details into wet cement. A Ground Penetrating Radar Survey identified many underground anomalies that could indicate unmarked burials, and some of these locations can be seen as indentations in the ground.
