Directions From:

From Austin:

Take Rt. 290 east, heading toward Houston.

(If you're coming up I-35, use exit 238 to get on 290. Do not use
the exit marked "290 east" that is in south Austin at Ben White!)

Or you can take Parmer or 183 south to Manor and then turn left
on 290.
Or you can take 2222 east out of town and stay on it until it becomes 290.

Stay on 290 for about 20-25 minutes, through Elgin, then another 3 miles.
You'll see a flashing yellow light and a Mobil station on your left. Take
a left at the light, onto Rt. 696 east.

Stay on 696 about 20 min., until the road ends at a T-intersection in
Lexington. Then, there are a few turns in Lexington to get to us:

At the T-intersection, turn right and go about a mile to the Stop sign.
Turn right at the stop, and go another mile. You'll see a "50 mph"
sign and our blue-and-white sign on your right and a "Lexington Cemetery" sign on your left.
Take an immediate left. You'll be at an intersection with a flashing red light.

Go straight through the intersection, for 2 miles. We're on the right.

There is a sign, and you'll see the fuel tanks near the road and
the orange cones on the power lines. Turn right into our gravel
driveway.

In case you get off-track in Lexington, we're on 696, so just find the one
and only flashing light in Lexington, turn east on 696, and go 2 miles.

For any problems or questions, call us at 979-773-9100.


From College Station:

Go south/west on Rt. 21, heading toward Caldwell and Bastrop. About 7 miles past Caldwell, look for FM 696 westbound, toward Lexington. Take that right turn, going west on FM 696, for about 10 miles. We are just 2 miles shy of Lexington and the intersection of 696 and Rt. 77. You'll see a blue and white sign and you'll see our fuel tanks near the road and the orange cones on the power lines. We are on the left.

If you reach Rt. 77 and the blinking light in Lexington, you've gone too far, so turn around and go back 2.1 miles east on 696, and this time we'll be on the right.


From Houston:

There are a few ways to get here from Houston, depending on which part of
Houston you're coming from. Whichever way works best for you (Rt. 290, for
example, or Rt. 71), you want to head for the town of Giddings, which is
located at the intersection of 290 and 77, and is about 45 min. east of
Austin.

In Giddings, take Rt. 77 north toward Lexington and Rockdale. Lexington is
just 15 min. north of Giddings.

At the flashing light on Rt. 77, in Lexington, turn right onto FM 696,
heading east. Go 2 miles and turn right into our gravel driveway.
You'll see our sign on the right; you'll also see the fuel tanks near the road and the orange cones on the power lines.

If you have any problems, call us at (979) 773-9100.


From Killeen:

Take Rt. 190 east to Belton, and across I-35. Follow signs to Little River, Holland, and Taylor.

At the intersection of Rt. 95, head south toward Taylor.

At Taylor, take Rt. 112 south toward Thrall and Lexington. Stay on Rt. 112 all the way into Lexington, which is the town we're in. At the first Stop sign in Lexington, turn right and go another mile. You'll see a "50 mph"
sign and our white sign on your right. Immediately, take a left. You'll be at an intersection with a flashing red light.

Go straight through the intersection, for 2 miles. We're on the right.

There is a sign, and you'll see the fuel tanks near the road and
the orange cones on the power lines. Turn right into our gravel
driveway.

In case you get off-track in Lexington, we're on 696, so just find the one
and only flashing light in Lexington, turn east on 696, and go 2 miles.

For any problems or questions, call us at 979-773-9100.


From Round Rock:

From I-35, take Rt. 79 north and east – toward Taylor, Rockdale and Hearne.

As you approach Taylor, take the Taylor Loop and get off on Rt. 112, heading south and east toward Lexington. Stay on Rt. 112 for about 15 or 20 minutes, until Rt. 112 intersects with FM 696.

Once 112 has merged with FM 696, it’s less than 1 mile to Lexington. Then, there are a few turns in Lexington to get to us:

Turn right at the stop, and go 1 mile. You'll see a "50 mph" and our blue-and-white
sign on your right and a "Lexington Cemetery" sign on your left.
Take an immediate left. You'll be at an intersection with a flashing red light.

Go straight through the intersection (Rt. 77 and FM 696), for 2 miles. We're on the right.

There is a blue and white sign on the right, and, you'll see the fuel tanks near the road and
the orange cones on the power lines. Turn right into our gravel
driveway.

In case you get off-track in Lexington, we're on 696, so just find the one
and only flashing light in Lexington, turn east on 696, and go 2 miles.

If you have any problems or questions, call us at 979-773-9100.


From San Antonio:

Take I-35 north. At San Marcos, turn east on Rt. 21, heading toward
Bastrop (exit 205).

Go through Bastrop, for about 25 minutes. Be careful on Rt. 21 -- there
are 3 places where you have to turn in order to stay on Rt. 21. One of
these occurs very soon after you get on Rt. 21 from I-35, and the other
two occur around Bastrop.

Rt. 21 intersects with Rt. 77 about 25 min. east of Bastrop. Turn
north on Rt. 77, toward Lexington.

It's about 7 or 8 miles to Lexington. At the flashing yellow light, turn
right on FM 696, heading east for 2 miles. We're on the right.

There is a blue-and-white sign on the right, and you'll see the fuel tanks
near the road and the orange cones on the power lines. Turn right into our gravel driveway.

In case you get off-track in Lexington, we're on 696, so just find the one
and only flashing light in Lexington, turn east on 696, and go 2 miles.

If you have any problems or questions, call us at 979-773-9100.

You can also get here from San Antonio by heading east on I-10,
toward Houston, to Schulenburg. At Schulenburg, I-10 intersects
Rt. 77. Go north on Rt. 77, through LaGrange and Giddings. Fifteen
minutes north of Giddings is Lexington.

At the blinking light in Lexington, turn right (east) on FM 696. We're
2 miles on the right.
