Wadsworth-Barnes Cemetery is located on Wadsworth Road, near the junction of the ancient Tripptown-Pequawket Trail Road in Hiram, Oxford County, Maine. The property was once owned by Captain Charles Lee Wadsworth, the eldest son of General Peleg Wadsworth. In 1790, General Wadsworth purchased a grant of 7,800 acres of land in Hiram. He kept 900 acres for himself and later gave 500 acres to his son, Charles. The remaining acreage was sold to settlers at a fair price. In 1795, General Wadsworth built a mansion on the parcel reserved for his son and that house is where Charles and his wife, Ruth, lived and raised their children. The small family burying ground, some caved in cellars, and a few covered wells, is all that remains of Charles Wadsworth's homestead.

Turn right (west) onto Douglas Road and drive 0.4 miles to the historic home at the end. After obtaining permission, continue walking south along the old road 1.3 miles south to a cellar hole on the left (east) side. The cemetery, which is surrounded by granite posts, is on the right (west) side, 230 feet from the road on a knoll. Note: This cemetery is in the gated Lowell E. Barnes Wildlife Management Area and it may be possible to drive a 4WD vehicle here during the summer with permission from Buddy Barnes. The graves/gravestones of Charles Wadsworth and his wives Ruth (Clemons) and Jane (Ingalls) were moved from this cemetery to Hiram Village Cemetery. This is most likely the case for his son Samuel and wives Mary Jane (Rowe) and Jane I. (Clemons), whose stones are also at Hiram Village Cemetery.
