Every effort is made to accommodate visitors with special needs. Because of the historic period and age of many of our tour buildings, some areas may not be fully accessible to visitors with physical disabilities.
Our visitor center is physically accessible to all visitors. Auxiliary aids include:
- A wheelchair is available upon request.
- Shuttle service from the Visitor Center to the mansion is available upon request.
The first floor of Gunston Hall mansion is accessible to all visitors. A wheelchair lift is on the east side of the house.
In order to visit the second floor of the house, stairs must be negotiated. For those unable to tour the second floor of the house, there is a book of photographs available for viewing in the mansion.
The grounds surrounding the mansion are relatively flat and the garden is accessible, There are gravel paths to and from the mansion, with hard-top surfaces inside the garden.
