An accessible, gender neutral washroom is located on the main floor.

We are a proud participating venue of the Easter Seals Access2 program. Present your Access2 card upon entry for free admission for your support person during this visit.

The museum has assistive listening devices available by request at no additional charge to support you during tours, to hear exhibit content, or during programs.

What to Expect

The Leah Gardner temporary gallery on the main floor is changed approximately every 3 months. The permanent gallery is located on the upper floor of the museum.

The permanent gallery can be accessed via stairs or elevator. The stairwell leading to the permanent gallery contains some framed photograph and taxidermy animals. 

Photography is allowed in the galleries unless otherwise specified near an artifact. Please respect the artifacts and do not use flash.

This is a family friendly environment. We understand your little visitors may have a lot of energy, silence is not mandatory here. We often have interactive components and scavenger hunts available. Strollers, noise, and energy are welcome.
