Accessibility
There is a slight incline on the brick walkway to get from the sidewalk on Middle St to the visitors entrance; there are no stairs to get up to the visitor's entrance.
The first floor is wheelchair accessible if the wheelchair can overcome the approximately 1.5" threshold at the visitor entrance door.
The second floor is only accessed via stairs, so the 4 rooms on display would have to be described.
The gallery, which has temporary exhibits, is on the first floor.
