Directions to the Studio
Bowdoinham, Maine on Center Street
at corner of Main St., one mile from Interstate 295, exit 37
Free Grange Music Studio in Bowdoinham is located downtown on Center Street, at the corner of Main St./Route 125. The parking lot and entrance are behind Fox Real Estate.
From I-295 take exit 37 for Route 138/ Route 125 toward Bowdoinham/Bowdoin. Turn right at Route 138 (follow signs for Bowdoinham) and go straight past where 138 goes to the left, in order to stay on Route 125/Main St. Continue straight on Route 125/Main St. and turn left onto Center Street.
Routes 201 and 24 intersect with Main Street/Route 125, and are a convenient alternative to I-295.
Once you are on Main St./Route 125, the turn onto Center Street is one-tenth of a mile east of downtown Bowdoinham's waterfront park (if you're coming from Route 24), or a mile west of exit 37 (if you're coming from I-295).
Visitors arriving can look for the landmark of several pots of colorful flowers on the side of the building.
The flowers mark the entrance of the studio.
The studio is behind the Fox Real Estate building, which is white with red signs/awnings. The restroom is shared with the real estate office and is in the hallway.
There's a restaurant, library and waterfront park all less than a quarter mile from the studio if you'd like to combine errands and social time with music lessons.
Hope Hoffman's phone # is (207) 332-3459.
Free Grange studio spaces are "fragrance-free," and have radiant heating systems.
