Accessibility Campaign
While our National Register status exempts The Craik-Patton House from mandatory ADA compliance, we believe accessibility isn't about meeting minimums. It's about maximizing our impact and living our values.
Working with Ed Weber Architects, we've developed an approach that respects our historic integrity while creating meaningful, dignified access:
Main House Accessibility
Wheelchair lift installation, ADA-compliant restroom, and improved pathways providing seamless access throughout the property.
Join us in making 190 years of heritage accessible to all!
