CommentTake logging road 100 yards north of Sweet pond west from Sweet Saw Mill Rd. Follow road 1200 ft to cemetery on south side of logging rd. In Apr 1992 the first five graves had daffodils blooming in front of them, and the cemetery was cleared and well tended. Most of the rods are now gone from the granite posts around this burial ground. Alternative direction: At the intersection of New London Tpke. and Henry Brown Road proceed north 0.8 miles on NL Tpke to the DEM gate. Continue north another 0.4 miles to a NW-SE trail. Proceed left on the NW trail 1050 feet until the trail ends on Sweet Sawmill Road. Proceed 70 feet SW on Sweet Sawmill Road to a trail on the right. Go north 1400 feet on this trail. The cemetery is 20 feet left of the path. Recorded in the 1970s by Blanche Albro. Recorded in 1992 by John Sterling. GPS coordinates 41 deg. 37' 46.092"N x 71 deg. 35' 52.764"W
