Site Access & Limitations
A Heritage Venue
Set inside a vintage cypress cottage, our museum requires guests to use stairs for entry. Consequently, the site cannot accommodate wheelchair access at the present time.
Online Exhibits Coming Soon
We are currently developing a digital experience to ensure those unable to navigate the physical stairs can engage with our history. Updates on this digital accessibility project will be posted here as they become available.
Guest Assistance
Be advised that our museum is situated within a traditional cypress cottage and is not currently optimized for wheelchairs, as the entrance involves steps. Recognizing this limitation, we are crafting a digital walkthrough to provide an inclusive way for all community members to enjoy our historical narratives and exhibits remotely. We look forward to sharing these new viewing options soon.
