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.
