> The important part of the directions on that page are these:

> Exit as shown to 14th Street West away from the Ohio River. You will go

> left onto Florence Avenue. Half a block further, the Museum and its
> fenced-in parking area will be visible on your right.

> If you click anywhere on the map on the following link, it will

> Basically, you just have to get to Huntington and then follow the
