    DIRECTIONS TO HOLY LOVE MINISTRIES
    37137 Butternut Ridge Road in Eaton Township

    Please remember, the 83-acre property is located in Eaton Township, not Elyria. Elyria is simply the mailing address. The property is located on Butternut Ridge Road between Durkee Road and Highway 83 in Eaton Township. It is the west end of Lorain Road. If you find a Butternut Ridge Road in another community, it will not lead to the property. Taking Lorain Road west, however, will always help you, and Lorain Road is well-known to local people.
