Welcome to Snee Farm! This site has a parking lot, picnic pavilion, some short trails, and the house.

Parking

There is a small loop-shaped parking lot made of crushed gravel. There are:

• 2 standard accessible parking spaces marked with signs and blue curb stops
• Room for about 10 other cars

Paths

From the parking area, there is a sidewalk leading through a picnic pavilion and across the lawn to a house.

 

Picnic Pavilion

Located right next to the parking area there is a large covered pavilion with a concrete floor. There are a number of picnic tables under the pavilion as well as mens and womens restrooms and a drinking fountain with a water-bottle filling station.

Pavilion Restrooms

The restrooms are split by gender and there are power-assisted doors activated by pushing a button next to the door.

Mens

• 1 larger stall intended to be used by someone in a wheelchair, though the turning space is limited.
• Running water and hand dryers
• a child-sized changing table

Womens

House

The house at Snee Farm is located past the pavilion, a short walk from the parking lot. The path leads around the right side of the home. On this side of the house there is a set of 5 brick steps to get up to the porch. To the right of these stairs is a ramp leading to a single-user lift.

For folks using the stairs, there is a door directly in front of the stairs that leads into the house. For those using the lift, there is a door to the right that enters a slightly different part of the home, in order to avoid a tall threshold issue with the front door.

Information Desk

There is an information desk where you can ask questions, speak to a ranger, and purchase items from the small bookstore.

Bookstore

The bookstore sells stickers, patches, books, mugs, and other trinkets. Staff at the front desk can assist with retrieving items that are out of reach.

Restroom

There is a single-user restroom in the home. It has grab bars on the back and side walls, running water, and paper towels.

Theater

There is a small room used as a theater in the back of the home. Seating is provided in moveable chairs with a standard large tv in the corner. There is room to navigate but no space has been designated for wheelchairs.

Exhibits

There are exhibits throughout the home talking about the slave trade and rice production. There is room to navigate around the exhibits. The floors are either wood or very low-pile carpet. Transitions between the rooms are minimal.

Some exhibits have small panels that can be moved to reveal more information. These are all within reach range with room for a forward approach.

 

Grounds

Outside of the home there are a few paths and trails that lead through the old farm. One trail leads to an enslaved community site while one is a nature trail.

Nature Trail

This is a short trail through dense vegetation and ending at a boardwalk with a view looking out over a creek. The trail is mostly flat and level the entire length. There are a few barriers on the trail:

• tree roots
• 1-2 inch transition up onto a short bridge and onto the boardwalk
• some areas are narrowed due to overgrown plants
