DIRECTIONS: Go east on I-12 out of Baton Rouge toward Hammond. Go past the Denham Springs exit to the Juban Road exit. Exit to the right and at the top of the exit turn LEFT on to Juban Road. When the road dead-ends into Hwy 190 [Florida Boulevard] turn RIGHT. In a short distance veer LEFT in front of the Chevron/Cracker Barrel service station. At the STOP sign turn LEFT. Go over the railroad tracks and turn LEFT into the 4th driveway on the left. There will be a red barn, and a few tall pine trees. You can hardly see the house from the road. There are roses and flowers planted at the beginning of the long driveway. We will have a sign posted at the driveway entrance.  No internet map programs are correct!
