Accessibility:
Please note, there is a lot of walking involved in the full tour, with many stairs. The main floors of each home are accessible to all guests via stairs and lifts; the upper floors of each home are accessed by stairs only.
However, the accessible museum video room allows all guests a comfortable space to view the upper floors of each house through video with audio and captions. We strive to make this visit meaningful to all our guests.
When you purchase your tickets, please notify us of special assistance you may require.
