We had our wedding reception at The Durham Museum and it was beautiful! Our family and friends will for sure be talking about it for years to come :D. Our guests especially liked the ice cream bar at the soda fountain. I think there were some staff changes while we were in the planning process (about a year and a half), so we worked with a few people. However, we primarily worked with Mary Celer who is so kind and easy to talk to. She knew it was important to us to get pictures at the track level with the trains and made it happen for us! As with most weddings, pictures took longer than anticipated and I am fairly certain she waited well past her shift to make sure we could get downstairs. And even if not, it just meant a lot to us that she helped us get those shots! We worked with Catering Creations and would absolutely recommend them as well as a co-vendor for and event like this at the museum. They made everything so effortless on our day!

We were in town for a wedding and looking for something to do. Stumbled upon this museum! So neat! Lots of history about the Union Pacific. Reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

I love the Durham Museum but Is it wheelchair Accessible?

Deborah Day | Sep 14, 2018
Sarah Rose | Sep 14, 2018

Seems silly to answer again when everyone else has answered, but we're all trying to rack up points, right? ;-) Yes, it is accessible, though I would add that the space in the gift shop is also pretty tight for a wheelchair.
