Location. Southeast of intersection of Indian Point Road and Oak Hill Road. UTM: 19T 0550905, 4914615; Lat./Long.: N 44°22′58.9″ x W 68°21′39.4″

Directions. From the intersection of Routes 3 and 102/198 at the north end of Mount Desert Island (just after you cross the bridge from Thompson Island), go straight ahead (south) onto Routes 102/198. In approximately 1.9 miles, turn right onto Indian Point Road. This road intersects with Oak Hill Road on the left in about 1.7 miles. Turn left onto Oak Hill Road, and the cemetery is immediately on the left.

History: This town-owned cemetery has been called the Higgins Burial Ground (Hancock County Registry of Deeds book 1174, page 677) and contains “one-tenth of an acre, more or less” (1174:678).

Notes: This cemetery is enclosed by a wrought-iron-looking fence. There is a hole, presumably from a bullet, in the tallest monument, which is metal. Little lawn care is needed because most of the ground is covered by moss.
