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), bear left on Route 3. Follow Route 3 for 4.6–4.7 miles to the intersection with Norway Drive. Turn left onto Norway Drive and follow it to the end (about 0.1 miles). Turn right onto Old Bar Harbor Road, and the cemetery is on the left in 0.2–0.3 miles.
History. Owned by town of Bar Harbor.
Notes. A large stone along the approach to the cemetery bears a plaque with the inscription “In memory of our pioneers/This tablet marks the/site of/the first town house/erected in Eden/built in 1842/razed in 1931/This memorial erected by/the town of Bar Harbor/1932”. No fence encloses the cemetery, although there are remnants of a former wood fence. Many stones are laying on the ground. The grass is mowed and trimmed.
