From Hwy 4/259 junction at Smithville...
Go east 6.5 mi. to Watson--you’ll see the gas/grocery on the right--turn left onto the paved road. (If you’re coming from Arkansas, go 7 mi. west on Hwy 4 from the junction of 4/71 at Cove, AR, then turn back hard to the right at the Watson Grocery.)
After turning off Hwy 4, s tay on the paved road 0.7 mi. (you’ll first see the post office on your left, then you’ll go to the left of the little church). Turn right at the intersection on top of the hill, then go another 0.7 mi. on the dirt road and turn left. You will then pass 4 possible right turns; take the 5th road to the right--it’s a true Y (you’ll notice a log fence on the left just before turning right). A half mile further you’ll come to a log house with an old rail fence; it’s the Homestead Cabin. Go just past the fence to the office, which is on the left. The total distance from Hwy 4 is 3.4 miles. It’s not as hard as it seems, but you must use your odometer and watch for our small signs for help...the first couple are high on telephone poles.
Again, the office is just past a log cabin with a green metal roof and a rail fence (Homestead); you’ll see the sign for the office. Our office phone is 580.244.7296. In case we’re not there you may try our cell phone at 918-775-1122 or 918-775-0628.
