Accessibility Plan
The Town of Huntsville's Muskoka Heritage Place 2023-2027 Accessibility Plan is in place to identify and remove barriers, while preventing new barriers. The plan is reviewed annually and accomplishments achieved are noted in an addendum each year.
Improving access for everyone
We continue to search for new ways to improve access to our site for everyone. With late 1800s to early 1900s construction practices and our commitment to protect and care for the artifacts, we may not alter the physical structures of our buildings.
Large print photo guide books are available. These will assist in delivering a more complete experience for our visitors with disabilities, who may be unable to gain entry to areas of our site as needed.
If you require assistance please contact us.
Service animals
Only registered service animals are welcome on the property and within our buildings.
Please refer to the customer service standards by-law on the Town of Huntsville website.
Website accessibility
New and returning online visitors are important to us. To help improve your online experience, we have put together a list of optional tools you can use to help navigate websites. These resources are available on the Town of Huntsville website.
