Left on College Street, and Left on 10th Street.

Take the Cemetery Road, State Route 234 exit
(Exit 26). Cemetery Road becomes Fairview Avenue,
then the name becomes 6th Street. Turn Left
on College Street and Left on 10th Street.
From
the West/Natcher Pkwy/Russellville Rd (Hwy 68/80):
Take Highway 68/80 (Russellville Road) to University
Blvd. Turn Left on University Blvd. The road
will curve to the Right and become one-way.
You will see the Kentucky Museum & Library

will spit in two. Take the fork to the Left,
which becomes Kentucky Street. Turn Right on
