Where possible within the context of preservation and authenticity and due to limitations of space, ramps and pathways have been installed for accessibility. The front entrance to the great house and first floor of the home are wheelchair and walker-accessible; our guides will be happy to assist you within the great house and museum. Motorized scooters are not permitted within the Great House; wheelchair access is allowed through the central corridor of the house only, but is not possible through the entirety of the ground floor of the residence.
The doorway at the back of the great house and the entrance to the chapel where the historic movie is shown each have three (3) steps; there is a ramp entry at the rear of the distillery and by the Terrace Café.
Please be advised that the grounds may be uneven as they consist of gravel, dirt, and cobblestones; the plantation's gullies include some steep walkways.
Staff will be on-hand to assist wherever possible; please contact us in advance to ensure assistance.
