Go left on Rte 43 about 2 ½ miles to “Hyl-Tun Farm” sign on the left. Turn left onto Old Ferry Road and another immediate left into driveway. Note: Some functions are at a slightly different location at a large barn on the top of a hill at only 2 ¼ miles from the bridge—1/4 mile prior to the “Hyl-Tun” Farm sign. Look for signs.
From Northern Maine: Go south on I-95 to Newport; take US Rte 2 west about 20 miles to Skowhegan; then north on US Rte 201 five miles to an intersection with Rte 148 on left (Chrysler dealership on right); turn left onto Rte 148 and go five miles to Madison and the traffic light mentioned above; then go straight through the light and follow the directions given above.
From Southwest Maine: Head to Farmington and take Rte 2 east to Norridgewock and follow the directions above to get to Madison; or take Rte 43 east from Farmington to Starks village; then at about five to six miles from Starks village you will start to climb a hill and half way up the hill there will be the Old Ferry Road on the right. Turn right and an immediate left. If going to the alternate location at the large barn, stay on Rte 43 for ¼ mile and turn left at a huge barn at the top of the hill. Make sure the yellow light is off before turning. If unfamiliar with the term “yellow light” see below and PLEASE CALL AHEAD.
Note: Large events and overnight events (e.g. Young Riders, Fossils, Hunter Pace, etc.) take place at a large barn located at the top of the hill ¼ mile north of Old Ferry Road. Safely turning left across traffic into the barnyard is complicated by the fact one cannot see oncoming traffic. To safely turn left into the barnyard, you MUST make sure you understand how the yellow light works since it will let you know whether any traffic is coming from the opposing direction. Anyone unfamiliar with the term “yellow light” as it applies to this place, please call ahead and ask Ernie or Gwen to explain.
