A trip to the Visitors Center is fully wheelchair accessible. There are 4 accessible parking spots in our lot and no barriers or inclines from the parking lot to the galleries. Building doors have activation buttons. There is an accessible restroom across the hall from the center. All of our outdoor markers and memorials are accessible as well. To see 3 of the 7 outdoor exhibit panels and a few of the 9 wounded markers, there are no stairs, but some hills. We do not have wheelchairs to provide for visitors.

ºÚÁÏÍø shares information about commemoration in April. The May 4 Visitors Center will share links to event schedules on our website and social media.
