Follow 95 South to exit 9 (Rt 4 South, North Kingstown). Follow Rt 4 for 7-8 miles. Route 4 takes a hard bend to the right and becomes Route 1 South. Just follow the signs for Shady Lea Historic District---south to the exit for Route 1 North (sign says “138 East, Jamestown, Newport”). Once you take the exit, follow the signs for Route 1 North. Once on Rt 1 North, stay in the right hand lane. Turn right onto Shady Lea Rd just before the first set off lights. Follow to the old brick mill. * This is a new “jug-handle” style turnaround procedure to change direction from Rt 1 South to Route 1 North that replaces the old crossover.
