Physical / Mobility

1. Due to the historic nature of the historic village, most buildings are not accessible to wheelchairs. Many of these structures feature steps to enter and narrow hallways. A picture album of the inside of theMcLean House is available. If interested just ask the ranger at the house.
2. Much of the village terrain is relatively flat, but there is a one-hundred yard walk uphill from the parking lot to get into the village. If you need assistance please call the visitor center at 434-352-8987 extension 226. At the top of the hill surfaces in the village are flat with gravel, dirt, or grass paths.
3. Wheelchairs may be borrowed at the visitor center, on a first come first serve basis. There is no charge for loan of wheelchairs, but we ask for a driver’s license while the chair is on loan. Visitors should note that while wheelchairs can be taken all around the park, the gravel and dirt surfaces can make it relatively strenuous work.
4. The park film is generally shown in the upstairs auditorium, but may also be seen on the first floor. Exhibits are located on the second floor, accessible by stairs only. A picture album of the second floor exhibits and other areas of the park that are not accessible is available in the visitor center.
