Getting there
From US-70, enter the Parkway and drive Parkway north a 1/4 mile and turn left to enter the Folk Art Center's driveway. If you take I-40, take exit 55 and drive on US-70 west until you reach the Parkway on ramp. If you entered the Parkway at Brevard Rd, NC-191, US-25 or US-74A, drive Parkway north 5-20 minutes. Use caution with GPS directions, as many people end far up Riceville Rd and not at the Folk Art Center.
