From out-of-town - east, west, or north of Lancaster

We are on the western side of Lancaster, and the best approach from out of town is via the Route 30 bypass, exiting at the "741 Millersville/Rohrerstown" exit. Turn left at the top of the exit ramp if you are coming from the east, turn right at the top of the exit ramp if you are coming from the west. Continue on for 0.5 miles into Rohrerstown to the traffic light at the intersection with Route 23, where you will turn left (the light is just after crossing over railroad tracks, there is a Sunoco gas station on your left, and there is a short left hand turn lane at the light). [If you are coming to Lancaster from the northwest on Route 283, exit at the "741 East Petersburg/Millersville" exit and continue for 3.2 miles on Route 741 east (go straight through all traffic lights at the intersection with Route 30) until the traffic light at the intersection with Route 23 in Rohrerstown (see map).]

Turn left at the Rohrerstown traffic light onto Marietta Avenue (Route 23 East), then proceed for 1.1 miles (go straight through the traffic light at the intersection with Good Drive). Shortly after the Good Drive light, you will cross over the Little Conestoga Creek bridge, and Conestoga House (at 1608 Marietta Avenue), with its high, ivy-covered walls will be on your left. Continue on past the house and turn left onto River Drive at the next intersection.

From in town or out-of-town - south of Lancaster

Come into Lancaster on Route 222 north (which becomes South Queen Street in the city) to the intersection with Orange Street. Turn left onto West Orange Street, proceed west for 0.6 miles to the intersection with Marietta Avenue, and turn off to the right (45° angle turn) onto Marietta Avenue (Route 23 west). Continue on Marietta Avenue 1.4 miles going straight through the next four traffic lights, past Wheatland (on your left). At the bottom of the hill (before you pass Conestoga House on the right), turn right onto River Drive.
