Mount Vernon welcomes visitors with special needs. We recommend that you speak with Guest Services at the Ford Orientation Center for personalized advice to make the most of your visit. Please be aware that pathways in the historic area can be uneven as they consist of gravel, dirt, and bricks. The estate includes hills, some steep. A shuttle between the Pioneer Farmer Site and the Donald W. Reynolds Museum and Education Center is available March 11 through November 2.
