If I could give it six stars, I would. A superb place to visit if you love art, history, gardening, or nature. Make sure to call ahead and reserve if you want to have lunch, or they might be full.

Is the museum wheelchair friendly

Hi William, our campus includes the historic Florence Griswold House which is partially accessible, when accessed using the ramped entrance. The 2nd floor (gallery space) of the House is not accessible by wheelchair. The Hartman Education Center and Krieble Gallery are fully accessible with specially equipped restrooms. The interior of the historic Chadwick Studio is not accessible by wheelchair at this time. Specially designed pathways make much of the Museum’s 12 acres accessible by wheelchair. I hope this helps and that you enjoy your visit! Tammi
