Accessibility
Most historic structures at Millbrook Village are not accessible due to steps and narrow doorways. The restroom building is accessible. The roadbed through Millbrook Village is not paved but is flat. Moving through the picnic area just off the roadway would require some assistance. As Millbrook Days (above) is largely an outdoor event, a number of activities alongside the roadbed can be viewed.

 

Special Programs
Craft demonstrations and house tours on weekends in summer.
