Directions to FIA from the Boston Area.

Take I-93 to I-89. Get on I-89 going Northwest. When you get into Vermont get off at exit # 1 and take Rt. 4 West to Rutland. In Rutland you will come to a T-junction where you will either have to turn right or turn left. Turn left (onto Main Street) and immediately get into the right lane. Turn right at the very next street (West Street) which is 4A or "Business 4." Follow that street through Rutland, over the railroad tracks into West Rutland. At West Rutland you will see a Price Chopper shopping area on the left. Shortly after that you will see Rt. 133 to Middletown Springs, a distance of about 10 miles. When you come to Middletown Springs you will come to a stop sign. Turn left at the stop sign and go down the hill, across a small concrete bridge. FIA is the second building on the right past the bridge.

Note: If you should find yourself on the Rt. 4 Bypass around Rutland get off at the West Rutland exit and turn left at the light. You will see the Price Chopper on the left. Follow the instructions above from that point.
