Plimoth Plantation, the museum of 17th-century Plymouth, is a large outdoor museum with exhibits that cover over 40 acres. While many of the re-created 17th-century buildings are accessible to our guests in wheelchairs the pathways in-between can be significant obstacles. These pathways are for the most part unpaved (dirt or sand) and some of these paths have steep grades. Due to these conditions some paths are currently not accessible by wheelchairs.
Please understand that a variety of factors such as weather conditions, the type of wheelchair that you are using and whether or not you have someone strong to assist you will determine how accessible you find these pathways. Speak with a staff person at the Visitor Center regarding your particular needs. While many people with mobility disabilities are able to take advantage of all of our sites, in some instances, we will recommend that guests instead take advantage of the programs and exhibits offered in the Visitor Center.
At Plimoth Plantation, we are working hard to provide improved access for all of our guests. Over the next few years we will be undertaking many improvements. We have already re-graded and stabilized the soil on some of our pathways. These and other improvements will help to make our museum a place of learning for the widest possible spectrum of guests.
