health & safety precautions
Updated as of MARCh 12, 2022
We have made changes to our daily operations. While exposure to COVID-19 is an inherent risk in any public location where people are present and we cannot guarantee you will not be exposed during your visit, we are taking many precautions designed to protect the health of our visitors, staff and volunteers. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us work to keep you and our community safe.
Masks are optional for all visitors
Allow 6 feet of distance between others
Frequent and thorough sanitation by staff
1) If you were planning to visit the museum but are ill or experiencing any known symptoms of COVID-19, please stay home and allow yourself to get well.
