From the South, take SR-741 (Springboro Pike) to Main Street (in Moraine). Follow Main Street across Great Miami River Bridge, through Miami Shores past Moraine Splash and up the hill which becomes South Gettysburg. Continue north on South Gettysburg past WPTD old (short) tower, past “pay lake,” past Frytown Road and right at next intersection which will be Guthrie Road.
From the U.D./old NCR area, go west on Stewart Street across Stewart Street Bridge. Turn left on Edwin C Moses Blvd which becomes Nicholas Road past UD Arena (at I-75). Continue west on Nicholas Road to South Gettysburg Ave. South on South Gettysburg past Ch-45 to Guthrie Road and left on Guthrie Rd.
Everyone is invited!
