The Guilford Organ Barn

From Brattleboro, Vermont, & the North & East:

Take Interstate 91 to Vermont Exit 1 in Brattleboro.

Take U.S. Route 5 SOUTH toward Guilford. Go up & over steep hill, and after about 1.3 miles you'll be in Guilford Village (also known as "Algiers") at bottom of hill; Guilford Country Store is on the left.

TURN RIGHT opposite the Guilford Country Store, onto Guilford Center Road. Travel approximately 1.7 miles to Weatherhead Hollow Rd. on left.

TURN LEFT onto Weatherhead Hollow Rd. You will travel on this road for about 4.9 miles to the next turn. As you travel this road, you'll note a long pond on your left. At the end of the pond, you'll pass straight through a crossroads intersection. Just past this intersection, you'll pass through a dairy farm, The Franklin Farm, house and barns on the right. Just past farm buildings, in the middle of pastures, look for the next road on the right, Packer Corners Rd.

TURN RIGHT onto Packer Corners Road. You'll travel mostly uphill for about 2 miles, passing occasional houses, until you come to the top of the hill at Packer Corners (bank of mailboxes on left, houses on 3 of the 4 corners of a crossroad.) Drive straight through the crossroad, & continue a short distance. The road starts going downhill, there's a red cottage on the left, and just beyond, on the left is KOPKIND ROAD. Turn LEFT onto KOPKIND, & signs will lead you to the parking lot at the Organ Barn.

During the Labor Day Weekend Festival (but only then!) "Organ Barn" signs will begin at the turn opposite the Country Store, and will appear at every intersection from there to the concert site.

Turn RIGHT onto Route 5 and proceed north for just under 4 miles to KEETS BROOK ROAD on the left. (The first "Guilford Organ Barn sign will be at that turn, and there will be signs at every intersection till you get to the concert!)

Turn LEFT onto Keets Brook Rd & stay on it. (At one point, there's a fork to the right, but a sign will direct you to stay on the main road. The road begins in Bernardston, & becomes unpaved at the town line of Leyden, Mass. At a little settlement, another Organ Barn sign will direct you to continue, slightly bearing right. Shortly, you'll cross the state line into Guilford, Vt., and you'll then come to a CROSSROADS with WEATHERHEAD HOLLOW RD. An Organ Barn sign at this intersection directs you to TURN LEFT onto Weatherhead Hollow Rd.

Travel about 3/10 mile on Weatherhead Hollow Rd past the Franklin dairy farm. In the middle of their pastures, you'll come to PACKER CORNERS RD on the right. Another sign indicates you TURN RIGHT onto Packer Corners Rd.

Follow this road up the hill, about 2 miles, through the settlement of Packer Corners (crossroads; sign directs you Music Straight Ahead.)

Go thru crossroads & a few tenths of a mile later the road starts to go downhill, passing a red cottage. Directly after that is the driveway to the concert, marked Guilford Organ Barn and a big sign "Concert." Turn LEFT onto that road, Kopkind Drive,& signs and parking attendants will direct you to one of our parking areas.
