A Place for All

Accessibility

Thanks to new renovations at the TR Site, a handicapped entrance is now available. Handicapped parking is available in the Franklin Street parking lot. Please use the main entrance at the rear of the carriage house.

Public areas of the museum are on the first and second floors. Access is possible with no steps involved, and an elevator can provide access to the second floor. A handicapped-accessible restroom is available in the reception area.

If you have questions, please call (716) 884-0095.

Accessibility Details

There is an accessible entrance (no stairs) available to the rear (Franklin Street) side of the museum. There are three stairs if you approach from the front (Delaware Ave.) entrance.

If at all possible, it is recommended that persons with mobility-related disabilities be transported in a smaller vehicle that can access the parking lot, and enter from the rear. Remember that a full-sized bus cannot safely make the turn into the lot, so all buses will need to drop off on the street.
Be advised that the museum is set back from both Delaware Avenue and Franklin Street, so a walk of several feet will be necessary if being dropped off at the street by a bus.
The distance from Delaware Avenue is approximately 100 feet, partially over loose gravel.
The distance from Franklin Street is approximately 180 feet over paved surfaces.
No stairs are necessary to tour the museum. An elevator is available to provide access to the upper floor.
The tour requires moderate indoor walking, with periodic seating opportunities for limited numbers.
Tour areas are accessible to ADA-standard wheelchairs.
