Four Quarters is located on the edge of the Allegheny plateau in central Pennsylvania, just 3 miles North of Exit 68 of Maryland's Interstate 68, 15 miles West of the intersection of I-70 and I-68 at Hancock Maryland. In fact the number 68 is all you really need to find us; all of the turns from the exit ramp are marked.     We are 100 miles West of Washington DC and Baltimore, about 3 hours' driving time from Philadelphia and about 2.5 hours from Pittsburgh.

Local Shopping and Supplies
    We have three local country stores, all about 3 miles from Four Quarters.
        The Bellgrove is located right off exit 68 of I-68. It has a small cafe, gas and diese, and the only garage and towing service in the area. The owners, Robin and Sue Jay, have always been very supportive of Four Quarters and we encourage you to stop in for a visit.
        Ritz Brothers is a genuine old-style country store and is worth the visit for that alone. In addition to gas, bailing wire and cattle feed, they also have the only completely stocked grocery in the area. Mr. Ritz raises and butchers the meat he sells and you will have a hard time finding anything finer.
        The Road Kill is famous hereabouts for the fine country-style food served up by Barb Snyder, its owner. You will also find gas and a small grocery department. Try the Coconut pie.
