Location: Along west side of Claremont Road. UTM: 19T 0554786, 4902973; Lat./Long.: N 44°16′40.6″ x W 68°18′48.4″
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 10.6–10.7 miles (6.3–6.4 miles of which are south of the traffic light at the intersection of Routes 102/198 and 198/233), turn left onto Clark Point Road at the blinking light in the center of the village of Southwest Harbor. In about 0.6–0.7 miles is an intersection on the left with Claremont Road. (The angle of the sign for Claremont Road makes it difficult to read from Clark Point Road, so look for a sign for the Claremont Inn). Turn left onto Claremont Road, and the cemetery is on the left in less than 0.1 miles.
History: This cemetery is on land that was part of a 270-acre parcel owned by Ebenezer Eaton in 1808 according to the Salem Towne Jr. map.
Notes: The cemetery is mowed and enclosed by a wire mesh fence with metal posts. A sign on a tree reads “CLARK FAMILY/BURYING GROUND”.
