Directions and Map

The Museum is at the corner of New Road and Tonawanda Creek Road in Amherst, NY, just off Transit Road (state highway 78) and Millersport Highway (state highway 263).

From Interstate 990 North, exit at North French Road. At end of ramp, turn right. Go to Millersport Highway and turn left, heading towards Lockport. Go to New Road and turn left. The intersection of Millersport and New Rd. has a brand new township facility. If you see a fireman practice tower and facility, you have gone too far.

Note: the half dozen or so miles between the NYS State Thruway and Millersport highway is pretty much wall-to-wall malls, shopping centers, fast food outlets, restaurants, gas stations, and such.
