Accessibility

We strive to serve our visitors with physical impairments. However, the Museum is a multi-story historic structure surrounded by gravel walkways. By using our back entrance that is adjacent to designated handicapped parking, all visitors will have full access to our main level without climbing stairs and may view a video of areas accessed only by stairs. The main level includes some period rooms, special exhibit galleries, and lecture/programming rooms. Please let us know if you have any special needs so that we may assist you.
