From the East, West or South, take I-40 or I-26 to I-240 at Asheville. Take I-240 to exit 4A downtown, taking you toward Weaverville on U.S. 19-23 north, soon to be I-26 West. Get off at the fourth or fifth exit, for New Stock Road, exit 21. Turn right at the end of the exit ramp (light), then almost immediately left at the stoplight. That is Merrimon Avenue. Go about a mile on Merrimon, heading north (also is called Business 19) until you pass a small lake on your left. About four blocks past the lake, turn right onto Grove Street and drive up the hill. Turn left at the top of the ridge onto Main Street. We are just a few yards down on the right, at the corner of Main and East. Turn right onto East Street and park in back.

From the Northeast, take I-81 south to I-26 East (formerly I-181 south) at Johnson City, TN, and take I-26 East to Weaverville exit 18, the one that follows Flat Creek Road. That puts you onto north Main Street. Take Main Street through town, past the business district. We are a long block past the fire station and town hall on the left, at the corner of Main and East streets. Turn left onto East Street and park in back.

From the Blue Ridge Parkway, get off near Milepost 375 at Bull Gap. That puts you onto Ox Creek Road. Follow the signs pointing toward Weaverville and the Vance Birthplace. After about four miles, Ox Creek Road ends at Reems Creek Road. Turn left and drive about 3.5 miles until you see a Balcrank plant on your left. Turn at the next right, which is Main Street. We are about a half mile up on the right, at the corner of Main and East streets. Turn right onto East Street and park in back.

From the Biltmore Estate, turn left as you leave the gate onto McDowell Street, which becomes Asheland and ends at Patton Avenue. Turn left onto Patton Avenue and stay in the right lane when it becomes a part of the interstate highway. Get off at the first exit, directing you toward Weaverville, Mars Hill and UNCA on U.S. 19-23 North. Get off at the fourth or fifth exit, for New Stock Road, exit 21. Turn right at the end of the exit ramp (light), then almost immediately left at the stoplight. That is Merrimon Avenue.
