There are some parts of the homestead and grounds where people with reduced mobility may need assistance:

• Some of the wood floor panels inside the homestead have lifted and separated, creating small gaps.
• There are steps between rooms in the homestead
• Not all door frames are standard wheelchair width. The main entrance to the homestead has 2 single-width doors, one with a high lever handle.
• There are steps to enter the other buildings on the grounds.
• There's a paved path that runs from the homestead's main entrance to the nearby staff office, but you'll need to cross over flat grass to get around the rest of the grounds.
