Roger Morris Park is accessible, but due to its age and Landmark status, the Morris-Jumel Mansion is not wheelchair accessible at this time. Visitors with limited mobility sometimes find it easier to enter the Mansion from our side door, which has fewer steps (two sets of three), but no handrail. Upon request, the museum offers basic accommodations for those requiring accommodation and neurodiverse learners. Please feel free to call ahead with any mobility concerns or accommodations requests. Modified tours and programs can be booked upon request by contacting our education department.
