Frequently Asked Questions:
Where is the cemetery and how do I get to it?
Take Rte. 31 West from Newark toward Macedon from Palmyra. Right on to Walworth Road. Cemetery is over Quaker Rd. on the left between two houses. The old Baptist cemetery is behind the houses and is currently landlocked.
You'll have to cross people's lawns. Please contact people or knock on their doors before walking on their property. Look for a blue sign on the side of the road while you're driving.
