Barbara, I can't remember the street name but it is one block over from the courthouse. If you are coming to the courthouse from the front of the courthouse, you go around and take the 3rd right and go down and I think it is the 1st right (there is a stop light there) and take another right. The archives is on your left about a block or so down. It is where the old Maury County Jail was. Hope this helps. Someone may be able to give you more accurate directions.
