I was hoping the dictionary would explain but I only found references for "de donde".

Thanks!

This may not help, Erin, in the sense that it does not provide you with an explanation of "why" one uses this particular preposition, but my Gran Diccionario Oxford suggests that several different prepositions are used with "donde".

Here is an example such as you are looking for with "en":

donde (1) conjunción:

b. (con prep) where; El café (en) donde nos reuníamos. The café where we used to meet;

I found an example in my dictionary using en donde:

¿Hay algún lugar en donde me pueda probar esto?

Is there somewhere I can try this on?
