This is the big picture of the Black Lantern Inn’s relationship to the 581/220 freeway.

The 581/220 freeway connects Interstate 81 to Route 220 South.

The Black Lantern Inn faces Franklin Road, but is only accessible by car from a rear drive between Franklin Road and Woods Avenue as noted in this aerial view.

Exit Interstate 81 at Exit 143 for 581/220 South to Roanoke.

From the North, it is a left hand exit as shown in the photo. From the South, it is a right hand exit.

Stay on 581/220 South for about 7 miles to reach the city of Roanoke.

Exit 581 at Exit 6 for Elm Avenue. Bear right in the exit lane and turn right at the light onto Elm Avenue.

This is a major exit for downtown Roanoke and your first stoplight.

Continue on Elm Avenue to Franklin Road and turn left onto Franklin Road.

Franklin Road is the fifth stoplight, including the one at Elm Avenue, in a distance of about 5 blocks.

Continue on Franklin Road for 6 blocks to Woods Avenue and turn left onto Woods Avenue.

The Black Lantern Inn faces Franklin Road, but is only accessible by car from the rear drive off Woods Avenue.

After 2 houses there is a narrow gravel drive to the right. Turn right into this drive.

(This is the 2nd drive on the right. If you get to Third Street, you have missed the drive and will need to turn around.)

Drive to the last house on the right (1526) and park in parking lot. Welcome to the Black Lantern Inn!
