PARKING
You can park anywhere and walk to the homes. If you park downtown, be aware there is a 3 hour time limit in many locations - it is marked on the street curbs. If you drive from home to home, be aware it may be necessary to park one or more blocks away, and some streets in Old Town forbid on-street parking altogether.
SAFETY and ADA considerations
Your safety is of utmost importance. Only cross University Ave (state route 29) at a traffic light! Be aware sidewalks are often narrow, uneven, and in places, lacking! It is better to walk in groups to increase visibility.
Assume none of the homes are ADA compliant and plan accordingly. Wheelchairs and strollers are not allowed in the homes. Floors may be uneven, of differing heights, and have thresholds between rooms. Stairways in older homes are often steeper, narrower, and risers are different heights than new homes. Attendees may be required to either wear booties or remove shoes when in the home.
CHILDREN
Children under 2 are free but must be carried as no strollers are allowed in the facilities. Children over 2 must have a ticket and must hold their parents' hand at all time.
