Directions
Little Creathorne Farm
Grafton, NH

For GPS: 702 main St. Grafton, NH

google maps has it listed as: 771 Mascoma Valley Rd, Grafton, NH
03240

From the Southeast (middle and southern NH, and anywhere in MA
east of
Springfield):
you will want to take route 93 North through NH. From MA or CT
you
can get to route 93 from routes 495, 3, and 95(128). Take route 93
North through Nashua, Manchester, and Concord.
If you are coming from the Northeast, you want to take 93
South.

Get off at exit 17, just North of Concord. This should put you
on
route #4. Take route 4 West. Route 4 runs concurrent with routes 3
and
11 off and on during this trip, so make sure you stick with the
right
route! You should pass through several small towns, including
Boscawen, Andover, Franklin, and Danbury. It take about 30 minutes
to
get from route 93 to Grafton (it?s about 30.5 miles to the
border).
Creathorne is 3.5 miles from the Grafton/Danbury town line, on the
right. There is a white sign that says ?Little Creathorne Farm? in
plain sight. The farm house is a white color.
Pull in through the gate in the wooden fence (NOT the driveway)
and
park in the area defined by the logs, on either side of the small
hill
right there. I will have Creathorne, Black and gray shields near
the
road in the day light, and torches burning at the gate at night,
so
this site is usually very easy to find.

From the Northwest, VT, NY, or anywhere West of Springfield,
MA:
you?ll want to come into Grafton from the other direction. Take
route
91 (which runs up the NH/VT border) to 89S into Lebanon, NH. You?
ll be
getting off, at exit 17. This should put you on route 4. Take
route 4
East, passing through Enfield and Canaan, and into Grafton. It
takes
about 35 minutes to get from route 89 to Grafton (it?s about 20
miles
to the border). Creathorne is about 10-15 minutes from Canaan
center,
on the left.
