Directions · Lafayette, Ohio
One brick building in the middle of Lafayette, about twenty minutes east of Lima. You will know it when the line comes into view. Check the open nights before you drive; the mayor does not do walk-ins on dark nights.
Tap for directions
Closer than most people guess. Find your town, see the drive, and tap it for turn-by-turn directions from your door. While S High St is closed, every one of these routes ends at the Lafayette library lot, a short walk from the front door.
Times are estimates from the middle of each town on a clear night. Doors run 7:30 PM to midnight on open nights, rain or shine. The screams are indoors.
Questions on the way in? 614-321-8196 or 614-304-1209.
S High St is closed for road work until November. This address will route you into it, so navigate to the Lafayette library lot instead.
The honest version: the hall has no lot of its own, and S High St, which used to be the parking, is closed for road work until November.
Start at the Lafayette library lot. It is the easiest place to leave a car and a short walk to the door. One rule there: never park in front of the fire department, which shares the lot. Those bays stay clear.
Second choice: the church lot at the corner of Wood St and High St. Come in on Wood St. It is a short walk to the door and it keeps you off the closed stretch.
Street parking still works on Main, Church, Sugar, and Duran, and on the short streets between Church and High. Skip S High St entirely; it is barricaded and the crews need the room.
The neighbors live here year-round. Leave driveways clear, keep headlights out of windows, and save the screaming for inside the building.
The last three Saturdays fill the streets fast. Carpool if you can; four friends in one car beats four cars hunting the same curb. Better yet, buy tickets before you leave so the only line you stand in is the fun one.
Answers to everything else live in the FAQ.
Amendment, filed this season
They have the street open again.
Men have dug at this corner before. They come with their machines and their orange paint, they look for the reason the lights go wrong here, and every one of them has filled the hole back in and gone home early.
They will not find me in the street.
Until they finish: leave the motorcar at the library and walk the last of it. Do not stand in front of the fire house. Those doors must open on a moment’s notice. So must mine.
The hall keeps its hours.
Henry Joseph, Mayor
The hall has stood on the same corner since 1899. It is not hard to find. It is hard to leave.
