We will have signs placed around the museum to remind you of these requirements.
All traffic inside the museum will be one way. You will receive a sheet with this information on it.
We will have hand sanitizing stations as you come in, a 2nd one in the Chadds Ford Room on the first floor, and a third station at the top of the stairway on the 2nd floor.
Please do not touch any exhibits. We do have exhibits on panels in the Chadds Ford Room, the Carmack Room, the School Room, and the Brandywine Room. These panels are frequently wiped down by our docents. We strongly suggest you put on a glove(s) to turn the panels in the rooms. Before you touch any shared surface, you should clean your hands at the hand sanitizer or wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water. You should dispose of the gloves as you leave on the first floor in the trash can provided.
Our Gift Area will be closed but you may purchase these items on our web site and they will be delivered to you.
