PARKING INFO
Limited parking is available in the lot at the Roberts Garage on our property. From the northbound lane on Dawson Street (heading away from downtown), turn left into the History Center’s driveway at the “Parking” sign. Look for the large opening in the iron fence. If the lot is full, please circle the driveway and exit to Dawson Street. You are welcome to park on Dawson Street in marked spaces in front of the Flowers-Roberts House, or in unmarked spaces on either side of the street as long as you are not blocking any neighbors’ driveways. Street parking is also available alongside the History Center on Jerger Street. Please note that we are located in a residential historic district popular with walkers and joggers; please use caution as you enter and exit the driveway as it crosses the sidewalk.
