Accessibility Information

Due to the nature and location of the tour, participants must be able to walk short distances, stand for 30 minutes, climb stairs, and traverse over uneven surfaces. One of the historic properties on the tour has stairs, so it is not wheelchair accessible. The stairs and uneven terrain could create hazards for participants with vision impairments.
