CEMETERIES IN THE TOWN OF ALEXANDRIA

BARNES SETTLEMENT CEMETERY

Barnes Settlement Cemetery, on the Alexandria Center Road, seems isolated, far out in the country, with no house in sight. It covers an expanse of rolling ground well shaded with old trees, and is excellently kept. "No artificial flowers" warns a sign. Several trash barrels are posted in various places to encourage people to pick up after themselves, a large improvement over some cemeteries, where one can never find a place to deposit winter's litter for Memorial Day clean up.

This is a straightforward cemetery to find. Take Route 26 out of Alexandria Bay toward Redwood, and turn left (north) at the Alexandria Center Road. It's several miles up that road, past Barnes Settlement itself (an unsigned four corners) and on the right. A neat painted sign lets you know that you have arrived. A decent dirt road allows you to turn off the highway, and since the cemetery is hidden under the brow of a hill, it's a good idea to get your car off the road.
