Follow SR 50 through Milford, at Five Points just passed the elementary school, bear to the right. At the third stop light, past the Milford Shopping Center and at the bottom of the hill turn left onto SR 131. Follow it for 8 -10 miles and just before getting into the community of Newtonsville the road turns sharply to the left, take a right turn there onto Hutchingson Rd. There is a large water tower at the corner of Hutchingson and Bigham Roads that can be seen from SR 131 as you approach the turn. At the tower, take a left turn onto Bigham. Jim’s house is the second house on the left, 2814 Bigham Rd, 513-625-6297 if you have trouble.
