2. Go through 2 sets of lights and then under a RR pass. At the THIRD set of lights (large multi-access intersection, called Bell Circle), stay right and pick up Rt. 1A NORTH.

3. Stay on 1A through Revere (you¹ll pass Bldg. 19 and Walmart on the right, lots of car dealerships on right and left) until, as the road curves to the right, you see a sign for NAHANT-SWAMPSCOTT. Follow it, towards the ocean.

4. At the large ROTARY at the shore, go around and curve left until you¹re parallel to the shore. This will become Rt. 129 passing through Lynn and into Swampscott.

5. Continue on Rt. 129 straight on through Swampscott (mostly residential), and into Marblehead (you¹ll eventually see a sign on the right saying "Welcome to Marblehead").

7. Follow WASHINGTON STREET up and over the hill (passing old brick Abbot Hall on the right, then the Lee Mansion on the left). It will curve around to the left. Continue on down WASHINGTON STREET through a residential area, to FRANKLIN STREET. Turn RIGHT on FRANKLIN STREET and stay on it until you come to FRONT STREET, and you are facing the harbor (Franklin Street ends at Front Street.)

8. Go LEFT on FRONT STREET and you¹ll be headed straight up to the Fort. Park along the street, or in the tiny lot on the left, just before the drive up and to the right, to the Fort. (You cannot take your car up to the Fort itself, so park where you can.)
