Directions to the Old School

These directions start at the Courthouse Circle in Pittsboro.

Once you get in the circle continue to drive North on 15/501, heading toward Chapel Hill.
Drive 4.5 miles, Make a left on Moore Mtn. Road, it’s the first left after you cross the Haw River Bridge.
Drive 1.8 miles, take a left onto Hamlet Chapel Road.
Drive 3.2 Miles, you will pass Perry Harrison school, then turn right onto Lamont Norwood Road.
Drive 2 miles, turn left into the gravel drive, #2089.
There will be an Old School sign, the center is down the gravel road on your left.

This location used to be the Community Independent School, so you may already know how to get there.    Your GPS may take you another way, but I find this way easier, as there are less turns.
