Individuals with wheelchairs and other mobility devices

On most days, guided tour experiences are the only ways to access our historic building and reconstructed colonial buildings. These often include small, narrow spaces. To reach the William Brown House, visitors will walk down a 100-meter gravel roadway that is often difficult to push narrow wheeled wheelchairs. Most tours access this house using the 10 steep stairs that lead to the main level. For individuals who do not wish to climb the stairs, there is no-step access available on the basement level of the William Brown House that can accommodate wheelchairs. Please note that, depending on the size, motorized scooters may not be able to visit inside all the basement level rooms due to doorway openings. 

​

A level elevation gravel pathway extends the perimeter of the gardens to one of our scenic overlooks of the South River. The deep gravel is often difficult to push narrow wheeled wheelchairs and rollators. Access to other portions of the gardens are on grass and woodchip terrain, and the pathways leading down the slope to the Dell require stairs with handrails or a gently sloping pathway with shallow stairs.   

 

The Museum has a limited amount of wheelchairs available to borrow for wheelchair-accessible programs free of charge. To reserve a wheelchair, please call or email us at least 24 hours in advance. 

Elevators and Restrooms 

 

The Museum Visitor Center is equipped with universally-designed elevators and has accessible restrooms on the main level and the basement level. 

 

Free entry to care partners

Regardless of Museum membership status, all visitors with disabilities can obtain free entry for their care partners upon request. 

​

Service Animals 

Service dogs are welcome on all Museum tours. Pets and emotional support animals are not allowed inside our Historic William Brown House, but can be brought on outdoor neighborhood walking tours. 

 

Air-Conditioning 

The Museum has been newly equipped with a passive climate control system to preserve our historic buildings and provide visitor comfort. Unlike traditional air conditioning, this means that our spaces are kept at a comfortable temperature, but not chilled. We still encourage visitors to bring water on hot days or use one of our hand fans, provided at our Visitor Services desk. 

​

The Museum Shop, Visitor Center, and Waterfront Pavilion are fully air-conditioned.
