Location. On private land on Dodge Point.

Directions. From the intersection of Routes 3 and 102/198 at the north end of Mount Desert Island, go straight ahead (south) onto Routes 102/198. In approximately 5.2 miles (and at the south end of the village of Somesville), turn right onto Pretty Marsh Road (Route 102). Travel on Route 102 about 8.2–8.3 miles, and turn right onto Dodge Point Road. The cemetery is in a field on the left in approximately 0.8 miles.

History. This cemetery is on land that was part of a 145-acre parcel owned by Ezra Dodge in 1808 according to the Salem Towne Jr. map.

Notes. The cemetery is not enclosed, but three of four corners are marked, according to a 1993 deed (Hancock County Registry of Deeds book 2104, page 98), by a 15″ spruce tree, an 8″ apple tree, and a monument, all of which were observed in 2000.
