Getting to Lane Stadium

Lane Stadium is just 8/10 of a mile walk from Historic Smithfield. The easiest way to get there is to take the service road next to the gravel lot and double back up the hill that stretches between the museum grounds and the Cage parking lot. Walk across the lot in the direction of Duck Pond Dr. Then bear left to turn onto Washington St. Bear right in the direction of McComas and continue straight to Lane Stadium on Beamer Way.
