Known For
Accessibility
The museum and grounds are partially accessible. The ground floor of the historic Gage House is accessible, but the upper floors and the Battlefield Monument are not wheelchair accessible due to steep, narrow stairs. Accessible shuttle buses are provided during major events.
Parking
Free on-site parking is available during regular hours. During the annual Re-enactment, on-site parking is restricted, and visitors must use the free shuttle service from off-site locations such as St. John Henry Newman Catholic School.
Transit
The site is accessible via Hamilton Street Railway (HSR) routes 5 (Delaware) and 44 (Rymal), with stops near the park entrance at King St W.
Seasonal Note
The museum is open year-round, Tuesday to Sunday (12:00 PM to 4:00 PM). Access to the 100-foot monument is weather-dependent and typically closed during icy or hazardous conditions.
