Directions to John Thomas Ashley homeplace:

Take a step back into time and see where a Confederate soldier lived upon his return from the war. You can find the John Thomas Ashley homeplace and see where he lived and even see the well that supplied water for the family over a hundred years ago. From Anderson, take Hwy. 28 to Hwy. 185. Take Hwy. 185 past Mt. Bethel Baptist Church. Turn right on Troy Murdock Road (State Road S-03-119). Go to the crossroads of Rube Ashley Road, and turn left. Go 3/5 mi. and the house will be on the left. Tip: Wear long pants & boots -- there are some rough briars around the home!
