How to find us
From Boston - Logan to the Donner house
Stay in the middle lane at the airport exit, and follow directions to the
Sumner tunnel, Boston, I93 South (keep $2 ready for the toll). Take the right lane
into the tunnel and turn right immediately after the tunnel, then left underneath the
highway and onto the ramp, always following the signs to I93 South.
Follow I93 south through downtown Boston for about 10 miles, then keep right at the
Braintree Split, following the signs for I95 South, Providence. After four miles,
get into the left lane and take a left onto Route 24 towards Fall River.
Take exit 19B (Central Street) off Route 24 and stay on Central Street for about 2 miles until the Mobil gas station and the CVS market. Take a left at the set of lights onto Route 139/Washington Street. After approx. 1000 feet you get to a very confusing double-intersection in the center of Stoughton. Keep left twice (don't turn, though), following the signs for Route 27 South. Route 138 continues on the right there. You are now on Park Street. After approx. 1000 feet, take a right onto Sumner Street. Bancroft Road will be on your left after half a mile. Our house is the highest one on top of the hill on your left.

From Boston - Logan to the hotels
(Holiday Inn and Super 8 Motel)
Follow the instructions above until you are on Route 24 South. Stay on Route 24 until exit 18A. At the first set of lights, take a left into Westgate Mall. Keep left. The hotels are next to the movie theatre up the hill, first the Holiday Inn and then the Super 8 Motel
From New York to the Donner house
Follow I95 North through Connecticut and Rhode Island (approx. 220 miles or 3.5 hours). If you have a detailed map, you can continue on I95 until exit 11A (Neponset Street) and find us following Neponset Street , Washington Street and then Route 27 through Canton and Stoughton. Otherwise, I recommend the following suboptimal route:
Take exit 6A off I95 onto I495 towards Cape Cod. After 14 miles, take the exit onto Route 24 North (I don't know the number, but it is clearly marked). After 10 more miles on Route 24, take exit 18B onto Route 27 North towards Stoughton. Follow Route 27 for 4 miles through several sets of lights and keeping left at two splits. Turn left before the Cumberland Farms gas station on your left onto Birch Street. At the end of Birch Street turn left again onto Sumner Street. Bancroft Road will be on your left after approx. 1000 feet. Our house is the highest on top of the hill on your left.
From the hotels (Holiday Inn und Super 8 Motel) to the Donner house
Take the same way back through the mall onto Route 27 North. Follow Route 27 for 4 miles through several sets of lights and keeping left at two splits. Turn left before the Cumberland Farms gas station on your left onto Birch Street. At the end of Birch Street turn left again onto Sumner Street. Bancroft Road will be on your left after approx. 1000 feet. Our house is the highest on top of the hill on your left.
From the Donner house to the church in Fall River
At the end of Bancroft Road, turn right onto Sumner Street and after 1000 feet turn right again onto Birch Street. At the end of birch street (you are behind the Cumberland Farms gas station) take a right onto Route 27. Follow Route 27 for 3.5 miles, keep left at the fork and take the ramp onto Route 24 South towards Fall River.
After approx. 30 miles or 30 to 40 minutes, take the second exit in Fall River, marked 'Highland Ave'. Follow Highland Ave which then becomes Robeson Street for about 3 miles. At the lights at Berth's Bakery, turn right onto Locust Street. Turn left at the next intersection onto Seabury Street. The church will be in the second block on your left.
From the church in Fall River to the Glen Manor House
Return to Robeson Street and continue south on Robeson. At the end, take a right onto Bedford Street and take an immediate left onto 12th Street (follow signs to I195). Keep right at the lights. You now will be on Plymouth Ave. Keep left under the bridge and take the ramp onto I195 East towards New Bedford. After only one mile take the exit onto Route 24 towards Newport. After 9 miles take Exit 1 towards Middletown and Newport Beaches, Route 138 South (see detailed map on the Glen Manor page). Follow Route 138 for about 3.5 miles until you spot a low stone wall on the left. Glen Road is at the beginning of the stone wall. Turning left there can be difficult because of the four-lane traffic. However, you can ignore the double solid line. At the end of Glen Road, turn right onto Coelho Drive. The Glen Manor parking lot is at the end on your left, and we will pay a police officer to direct you.
