The Boston Massachusetts Temple is the 100th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This was the first temple built in Massachusetts and greater New England. Standing atop a wooded granite hillside in the northwest suburb of Belmont, it is a striking landmark along the busy Concord Turnpike. The public is welcome to tour the grounds of the temple and adjoining meetinghouse, which feature a series of walkways that wind among the beautiful trees and meticulously landscaped grounds.
