Directions to Quaker Knoll from Waynesville, Ohio

The roads in rural Ohio can be pretty confusing. There are often 90 degree turns, and sometimes a road will 'cross' another road offset by some distance. If you don't know the road 'continues', and which direction to go to find the rest of it, well, you can end up pretty lost!

Getting to Quaker Knoll - Without Getting Lost!

Many of the internet maps available to help us navigate from place to place don't know the roads around here. I presume there have been changes made to the roads, but the bottom line is that the directions it gives are getting people lost!

If the mapping program takes you on Ogden or Beechgrove Roads, unless you already know your way, please take another route. I suggest getting directions to either Wilmington, Cuba or Clarksville, Ohio, then get directions from there to Quaker Knoll.

The address for Quaker Knoll is 675 Sprague Rd, Wilmington, OH 45177. Sprague Road is off Route 730, between Wilmington and Route 350.
