You can Mapquest or Google Map “364 Leigh Farm Road, Durham NC 27707″ and get pretty accurate directions. However, both services show a road called “Davis Drive” that does not actually exist. Ignore this. Leigh Farm Road continues well past the stump that both show, and goes into the woods (see dotted line below)

Note that when driving to the center, the one-lane road is a dirt path and cars may be traveling both ways. Please give right-a-way to on-coming cars, keeping towards the right. Parking at our main office is limited, so carpooling is encouraged and highly appreciated.
