Accessibility

The gravel incline up to the historic village.

Due to the historic nature of the historic village, many of these structures feature steps to enter.

Much of the village terrain is relatively flat, but, there is a one-hundred yard walk uphill from the parking lot to get into the village. If you need assistance please call the visitor center at 434-352-8987 extension 226. Surfaces in the village are gravel, dirt, and grass.

Visitor Center

Exhibits are located on the second floor, accessible by stairs only. A picture album of the second floor exhibits and other areas of the park that are not accessible is available in the visitor center. The park film is generally shown in the upstairs auditorium, but may also be seen on the first floor.

Wheelchairs

Wheelchairs may be borrowed at the visitor center, on a first come first serve basis. There is no charge for loan of wheelchairs, but we ask for a driver’s license while the chair is on loan. Visitors should note that while wheelchairs can be taken all around the park, the gravel and dirt surfaces can make it relatively strenuous work.

Visual Aids

For braille readers, there is a table-top braille map of the village and a braille guidebook of the village available in the visitor center. Large print handouts are also available at the information desk in the Visitor Center.

A free audio walking tour and an audio description of the park's primary brochure are available by downloading to your smartphone or tablet the app, UniDescription, from Google Playstore or the App Store.
