Directions to the Iverson Ranch
Take the turn off Hwy 200 into the town of Potomac (this turn is south on Potomac Road just east of the Potomac Bar off the Highway 200). Follow this road as it will make a hard left hand turn past the school. Continue on for 3/4 mile and turn right on Swanson Lane. The Iverson Ranch is the first place on the left (1/4 mile). Follow the signs and please use the second driveway.
Sincerely,
Jim Stone, Chair
