A major water main replacement is happening in the intersection of 10th and Hemphill, the corner where the museum is located. To access our parking lot, you will have to come through Tech's campus and then head north on Hemphill. Make a left onto 9th street, and at the end of the street turn right into our parking lot. We're worth the detour! (Check out the link below for more information and a map)
