Directions and Map
From I-270, take Route 367-67 north* to Alton. After you cross the beautiful bridge into Alton, turn left on Landmarks Blvd (aka 67 and/or 143), go past the Argosy casino, curve right and turn left to get onto Route 100 (the Great River Road). Elsah is about 11 miles northwest of Alton. The sign for Elsah is pretty small and obscure, so watch carefully!
When you turn in to Elsah, the road will curve to the right and then the left, and you'll find yourself on Mill Street. Go 0.3 mile to a very small bridge over a creek. Farley's Music Hall is just past the creek on the left. There's a parking lot out back if you don't find a place to park on Mill Street.
*September 2007 - We do not at this time recommend taking I-270 into Illinois to take IL Route 3 north to Route 143 (unless you are already in Illinois) because there is construction on the eastbound side of I-270 bridge over the Mississippi, and you can spend up to an hour just crossing the river!
