From the Mass Pike take Route 20 West to Huntington. Turn north onto Route 112 and continue to Worthington (about 15 miles). Turn left at Kinne Brook Road. Turn right at Curtis Road. Turn left at West Street. Drive 2/10 miles.

This cemetery is no longer being used but is maintained by the town. The information contained here was collected by Marcia and Frank Feakes in the early 1990s as they were applying for National Historic Register status, which was obtained. I have added information collected during my visits to the cemetery in October 2004, and June 2005. The cemetery is listed as GR (graveyard) # 4 in Massachusetts Vital Statistics to 1850. It has also been known as Parker-Four Corners Cemetery.
