Getting Here
We’re located 14 miles south of Abilene on State Highway 89 (Buffalo Gap Road in Abilene), in the middle of the scenic town of Buffalo Gap. If you’re driving in from the Dallas – Fort Worth area, just get on Interstate 20 and head west. When you get to Abilene, take Loop 322 south to the Buffalo Gap Road exit. If you’re coming from Midland or Odessa, do the same thing except head east; and when you reach Abilene, follow Loop 83/84 south to the Buffalo Gap Road offramp. Once you’re on Buffalo Gap Road, just continue south, past the Abilene Mall and the city limits. When you start seeing speed signs telling you to slow down, you’ll know you’re on the edge of the town of Buffalo Gap. Turn right on Elm – then go two blocks. If you miss Elm, don’t panic; just keep driving until you come to William Street (across from Jim Ned Elementary School), make a right turn on it, and head north.
