Cars can use free off-street parking available behind the Site. Cars may enter the lot from Delaware Avenue, where the lot entrance is located next to the TR Site’s lawn space and marked with a sign. (There is a Bank of America ATM  located in the same driveway; you do not need to stop there.)

The parking lot is also accessible from Franklin Street, which is one-way northbound. (Franklin Street cannot be accessed from North Street.)

On-street, metered parking is available on Delaware Avenue. Meters are generally in effect 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (unless otherwise posted), Monday through Saturday.

Buses can enter the parking lot at 550 Franklin Street. From here, passengers can de-bus close to the Site and on level ground, with no steps to enter the Site. Buses SHOULD NOT enter from the Delaware Avenue ramp due to narrow lanes.

Yes. A tour of the TR Site does not require taking any stairs. An elevator is available to provide access to the second floor. The tour requires moderate indoor walking, with periodic seating opportunities for limited numbers. Tour areas are accessible to ADA-standard wheelchairs.

When entering the building, there is an accessible entrance (no stairs) available to the rear (Franklin Street, or parking lot) 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 (not a tour bus) that can access the parking lot, and enter from the rear.

Remember that a full-sized tour bus cannot safely enter the lot from the Delaware Avenue drive, so all buses will need to approach the lot from the 550 Franklin Street entrance or unload on Delaware Avenue in front of the TR Site. 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 over a paved surface with a slight uphill gradient. The distance from Franklin Street is approximately 180 feet over paved surfaces.
