Accessibility at the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site

We strive to make the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site welcoming and accessible to all visitors.

Mobility Accessibility:

• Our museum is fully wheelchair accessible, with ramps at entrances and an elevator providing access to all four levels of the home.
• Doorways and hallways accommodate mobility aids, and no areas open to the public present accessibility challenges.
• A wheelchair is available for visitor use upon request.

Visually Impaired Accommodations:

• Since all visits are guided tours, our team can provide verbal descriptions and assistance for guests with visual impairments.
• We offer interactive experiences, including 3D-printed objects and “touch baskets” in each room with fabrics, replica artifacts, and other tangible items for exploration.

Hearing Impaired Accommodations:

• Written scripts of our tour are available upon request for guests with hearing impairments.
• ASL interpreters are available with at least 2 weeks of advance notice for groups of 10 or more.

Sensory Accommodations:

• The museum is typically a quiet environment. However, accommodations—such as moving to a different room or private tour times—can be made for guests with sensory sensitivities.

Parking & Entrance:

• Accessible parking is available in our lot at the northwest corner of our grounds and along N. Delaware St. in front of the museum.
• The closest accessible drop-off point is approximately 50 feet from the entrance.

Restrooms & Seating:

• Accessible restrooms are available on-site.
• Seating is available throughout the museum upon request.
