Access for People with Disabilities
We welcome people with disabilities to our site. We also welcome assistance dogs, although regretfully we cannot allow any animals on our mill tours because of the strict hygiene restrictions relating to food preparation areas.
Please contact us in advance of your visit if you have any particular questions.
