It is easy and convenient to drive to downtown Ephrata:

From the south: Take Rt. 222 north to the Ephrata exit. Turn left (west) at the light at the bottom of the ramp. This is Rt 322. After 2-3 miles, it becomes Main Street, and you will tell you have arrived by the beautiful sidewalks and old-fashioned street light.

OR

Take 272 north; pass Rt 772, through Brownstown, then look for a fork in the road (landmarks are Wendy's and Pancake House). Do not go straight on Rt. 272, but bear to the right and continue on State Street. Go 1-2 miles, and will intersect Main Street in Downtown Ephrata. You will tell you have arrived by the beautiful sidewalks and old-fashioned street light.

From the north: Take Rt 222 south to the Ephrata exit. Turn right (west) at the light at the bottom of the ramp. This is Rt 322. After 2-3 miles, it becomes Main Street, and you will tell you have arrived by the beautiful sidewalks and old-fashioned street light.
