The Sweet Cemetery is a small family plot located on the old Sweet homestead off a discontinued town road which is currently woodland. Travel north on Rte. 27 toward New Vineyard, and turn left onto the Barker Road. Continue roughly 3.5 miles and pass the Herrick Mountain Road on your left. Slow down and look for the wide trail cut into the woods for the power line. (Currently there are no poles or lines going up the mountain on the right side of the Barker Road, but this is where you want to go. The cut swath is visible going up into the woods, but it is starting to grow up with scrub.) Park on the right hand shoulder of the road, and begin hiking up the power line trail. Hike to the highest point you can see, which is approx. 0.56 miles. At this point, veer off the trail into the woods on the left. It is probably best to visit in late fall or early spring when the foliage is gone, making it easier to see through the trees. The cemetery is on a high ridge of land, not too far into the woods from the power line. You can spot the high stone wall around it made with large boulders. There are many old skidder trails in this area, and it may also be possible to drive to the cemetery from points north using a Jeep, ATV or snowmobile.
