NEW WHEEL CHAIR AND HEARING IMPAIRED ACCOMODATIONS AT THE MINES MUSEUM
In June 2022, in collaboration with Mines Environmental Health & Safety, Mines Museum installed ADA compliant, hand tap switches at our lower level entrance that allows visitors in wheelchairs to easily enter and exit the lower level of the museum.
We are proud to announce that a wheelchair is now available upon request to accommodate guests with mobility issues, improving accessibility in our exhibit spaces.
Our newest exhibit, "Destination Niobrara,” was designed with lowered handrail components and screens and the exhibit video was created with closed captioning to accommodate the hearing impaired.
Mines Museum continues to make improvements to its lower level by removing and relocating exhibits as necessary to create wider pass-throughs for guests in wheelchairs.
