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 7.7–7.8 miles, and turn left onto Kelleytown Road. In about 0.5–0.6 miles on the left is an old drive blocked (in 2000) by two large rocks and bordered on its left by four old apple trees. Downhill from this drive are the gravestones, one of which is visible in the winter from the drive.
