Most historic buildings were not originally designed to accommodate people with disabilities. Providing access (interior and exterior) for persons with disabilities in ways that preserve the character of the historic property is a challenge that requires creativity and collaboration.
As we seek to make improvements to the built environment, we are focusing our attention on providing digital and print images for physically inaccessible spaces and increasing outdoor interpretive programming. Please contact us for more details.
Our site currently consists of:
- Designated accessible parking
- An accessible outdoor, gender-neutral, single-person washroom on-site.
- The historic building has a small ramp leading into the building.
- The main floor of this historic building allows for access using mobility devices although fixed machinery creates some narrow spaces.
- The lower and upper floors are only accessible via wooden staircases but pictures of these areas are available and staff are on hand to share stories and answer questions.
- Seating is available on the property.
- The Sutherland Steam Mill is proud to be an Aira Access partner.
We will update this page as we make improvements.
