Take NY Rt. 28 north from the Village of Poland about 3.5 miles to Gravesville Road. Turn left on Gravesville road and travel approximately 1 mile to the hamlet of Gravesville. Then bear right onto Russia Road for about a quarter of a mile. Take the left fork of the road (Hinckley Road) up a steep winding hill. The cemetery is at the top of the hill on the left-hand side. At the back near the caretaker's building is a plot map carefully done by Mr. Irwin, the present caretaker. The plot map identifies families more so than individuals but is a wonderful help to anyone seeking to find an ancestor.
