Hours & Admission
We would like to thank the many people planning to visit us throughout the year and would ask that you please take special note of our museum hours. For the safety of our visitors and the safeguard of this historic site, we must ask that you ONLY visit during these times, as we do not allow visitors to walk around any part of the property when we are closed. We will do whatever we can do accommodate visitors upon request*, but ask for your patience and understanding of the limited resources of a volunteer run site. Thank you for your support!

Accessibility
Due to the nature of their historic architecture the Nurse Family Home, Meeting House, and Endecott Shop are not wheelchair accessible.
The grounds of the museum consist of uneven dirt, grass, and gravel paths.
Guided tours of the Nurse family home last approximately 25-30 minutes and require one step up into the building, and multiple steps up to the bed chamber. The home also has narrow doorways and raised thresholds. Visitors will be standing, walking, or climbing stairs during this experience.
Entering the Meeting House requires two steps up from ground level, and there are backless benches and some folding chairs available for seating in this building.
Entering the Endecott Shop requires multiple steps up and has a couple folding chairs available for seating.
The cemetery is 300 yards from the historic buildings, and requires walking a rocky dirt pathway with partial areas of steep decline. There are no places to sit on the way down or at the cemetery.
If you have any other specific questions about accessibility please reach out via email Info@RebeccaNurse.org
