*New Directions

From 95 South (Providence)

Follow 95 South to exit 9 (Rt 4 South, North Kingstown). Follow Rt 4 for 7-8 miles. Route 4 takes a hard bend to the right and becomes Route 1 South. Proceed south to the overpass and take the exit for Route 1 North (sign says “138 East, Jamestown, Newport”). Once you take the exit, stay to the right and follow the signs for Route 1 North. (You will be traveling in a clockwise loop. Follow signs for Shady Lea Historic District.) Once on Rt 1 North, stay in the right hand lane. Take first right onto Shady Lea Rd. Follow to the old brick mill. Biomes is the gray building behind the mill.

* This is a new “jug-handle” style turnaround procedure to change direction from Rt 1 South to Route 1 North that replaces the old crossover.

You now must be on Rt 1 N to turn onto Shady Lea Rd.

From 95 North (Westerly, CT)

Take 95 North to Route 138 East (URI, Kingston). Follow Rt 138 for about 12 miles. About 3 miles after the URI campus, go left at lights onto Rt 1 North (Mobile station on right). Follow Rt 1 for about 2 miles and take a right onto Shady Lea Rd just before the first set of lights. Take Shady Lea Rd to the old brick mill. Biomes is the gray building behind the mill.
