Accessibility

The Cayuga Museum main entrance is located on the West side of the main building, facing the Schweinfurth Art Center. The entrance is accessible by stairs from Genesee St., and by sidewalk from the Museum parking area and Schweinfurth Art Center main entrance. The elevator is accessible, but is historically accurate in design, meaning there is a weight limit. The elevator will be operated by museum staff exclusively for visitors unable to use the stairs. All three levels of the building can be accessed by elevator.

Parking

Free parking is available on Genesee Street in front of the mansion, and there are parking lots behind the building off Orchard Ave and behind the Schweinfurth Art Center. Two spots reserved for individuals with accessible needs are available immediately adjacent to the Museum rear entrance, and two accessible spots are also reserved in the main Museum lot.
