Follen Church

When you get to the church, keep in mind it is part of a large circular driveway.

Coming from Arlington, via Mass. Avenue

  • Pass through Arlington Heights (and you will pass Walgreens and Trader Joe's on your right just after the heights)
  • Continue on Mass. Ave. until you reach the Lexington Line
    the Lexington line is directly before Mal's Towing Service
  • After 0.8 mile you will see a small rotary on the left
    that's the rotary that you would take a left at to go to Wilson Farms in Lexington
  • But, stay straight on Mass. Ave. for about 15 feet and you are there

Immediately after that rotary you have 3 choices for parking:

  1. Park on the street
  2. Take an almost immediate right into the large circular driveway, (the sign says the Waldorf School and there's a T sign for the MBTA) and park in the circular driveway; there is handicapped parking here
  3. Continue for less than 0.1 mile and you will see a small unpaved lot on the LEFT; there is a small white sign that says Follen Church parking on the front of a small short black iron fence; this lot is directly across from 763 Mass. Ave. which is right next to the church
