Museum Directions

1640 Florence Ave.     
Huntington, Wv 25701
Tele #: (304) 525-8890
 
Coming from (I/64) Charleston:

Take the 5th Street Exit. At the stop light at the end of the ramp, go straight thru. Get on the west on-ramp. (just as if you were continuing on west) Taking the "west-on-ramp" go about 100 yards and you will then see a road branching off to the right called Johnstown Rd. On Johnstown Rd continue on till you come to a fork in the road. There will be a store on your left. Take the right fork. At this point Johnstown becomes Harvey Rd. Now look for a second fork in the road, this will be the corner of Harvey Rd and Arthur Street. Make a right onto Arthur and you will immediately start up a little knoll. Once you start up, the Museum will be on your left. Proceed around the curve (Arthur becomes Florence in that curve) to the front entrance of the museum.

 
Coming from (I/64) Ashland/Ohio: Directions #1

I was just reading the directions to the Museum on the TARA site and if you are coming from the Ashland direction it is a lot better to get off at the west Huntington exit. You get off at the VA Hospital - Madison Ave. ramp and follow the signs to the Museum. You turn right onto Madison Avenue (Marked by a Sign), turn right onto west 14th street (Marked by a sign) turn right at the steam locomotive (marked by a sign), turn left at the first intersection (Marked by a sign), go about 3/10 of a mile to the church and the "Y" in the road and take the left fork (Marked by a sign) and we are on the right just past the Church. Also there are signs marking the way to the museum from the road that turns off the fifth street ramp although they are not as easy to see as the ones coming from the West Huntington exit.

Coming from (I/64) Ashland/Ohio: Directions #2

Take the 5th St. Exit and make a left off the ramp. As you proceed to cross over the interstate bridge get in the left lane, as you would if you were to go back west on I/64. Taking the "west-on-ramp" go about 100 yards and you will then see a road branching off to the right called Johnstown Rd. On Johnstown Rd continue on till you come to a fork in the road. There will be a store on your left. Take the right fork. At this point Johnstown becomes Harvey Rd. Now look for a second fork in the road, this will be the corner of Harvey Rd and Arthur Street. Make a right onto Arthur and you will immediately start up a little knoll. Once you start up, the Museum will be on your left. Proceed around the curve (Arthur becomes Florence in that curve) to the front entrance of the museum.
