Home » Visitor Center » Guide to Access: Physical Acce...

Our re-created historical landscape has dirt roads and steep grades that may make traveling difficult for some visitors. In addition, buildings constructed in the 18th and 19th centuries often have entrance steps, narrow doorways and other physical barriers. Ramps and inclines improve access to many of our historical buildings, as noted below.
