Accessibility Statement

The Meetinghouse is committed to doing what is economically feasible and sensitive to the historic nature of the building to accommodate the needs of our guests with disabilities.

​

Building information and accessibility aspects of note:

• This historic meetinghouse was constructed in 1856 and its architecture and structural design are highlights of the building but may provide restriction to certain guests depending on physical abilities.

• All guest accessible main areas of the Meetinghouse have doors 30 inches or greater in width, however certain features of the original building may provide complications for wheelchair access. Our staff will do our best to communicate accessibility specifics when details are requested so please do not hesitate to call and ask if clarification is needed.

• There is a wheelchair accessible ramp to the front entry of the building. There is a raised transition at the entry, as well as a transition from the vestibule to the first floor space. Assistance is happily offered if needed.

• The restrooms have grab bars but are not fully ADA compliant.

• The second floor sanctuary space is only accessible by stairs.

• Due to the Meetinghouse’s historic significance, the spaces have not been retrofitted to fully accommodate persons with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. Removing the architectural barriers is not readily achievable and would require destroying the historic architecture of the facility and an unbearable expense for the business.

• Service animals are permitted on our property at no additional cost. If any damages occur from the service animal, the guest will be financially responsible for those damages. A service animal is an ADA-defined animal that provides enumerated services to the guest, including guiding the blind and hearing impaired, pulling wheelchairs, providing seizure alerts, and calming a person with Post Traumatic Disorder. General emotional support and comfort animals are not permitted.
