The museum is located in Asheville in Western North Carolina, easily accessed via I-26, I-40, and  Highway 19-23.  Asheville is bounded principally by I-240 on the north side of the city,  and I-40 on the south side.   I-26 is now connected though to Tennessee on a very scenic highway.

                           

This is the Elm Building at A-B Technical Community College.  The Museum is located in Room 315 and is handicap accessible.  Following the directions below, you will enter this building from the parking lot.

FROM I-40: Take Exit 50 onto Hendersonville Road (US 25 North) which becomes Biltmore Avenue. Stay in the right lane and go straight through six traffic lights for about 1.2 miles.  After you pass  Memorial Mission Hospital (on your left), make a left turn onto Victoria Road (the 7th light).

Follow Victoria Road for about .9 mile.  When you see a pedestrian overpass, turn right (up the hill) at the electronic message board.

Park in any of the spaces marked with white strips in several lots; and enter the nearby Elm Building (it is easier to find a parking space if you arrive about 10 minutes before the hour!).  Go to the elevator in the center and proceed to the museum on the 3rd floor  in Room 315 in the Elm Building.

Alternatively, as you go down Victoria Road you can take a right at the historical Smith-McDowell house, go about 200 feet and park in a white space in either parking lot - you will see the Elm building nearby.  Go to the center of the building, take the elevator to the 3rd floor where you will find the museum in Room 315.  (Again, it's easier to find a space about 10 minutes before the hour).

FROM I-240:

Take Exit 5B (Charlotte Street) toward downtown .5 mile, turn left onto Biltmore Avenue.  In the vicinity of Mission St. Joseph Hospital, take a right on Victoria Road, following it per the directions above.
