Eaton University

Turn right at the blue house at the end of the street.

 

At the first stop sign, turn left onto Maple Road.

 

Follow Maple Road for about three miles until it dips under the wooden bridge. As you come up the other side, get into the left turn lane.

 

Turn left at the stop sign and the train station will be on your right.  After the train station, look for the sign that says  "Eaton University Entrance."

 

Pass the sign and go another 100 yards.  The tennis courts will be on your right. 

 

If you see the football field, you've gone too far.
