[CHERI DUQUETTE]

Hi Deb,
Thank you for sharing your experience, it sounds great. I have always wanted to go and now with Skylar, I just need to wait for her to be a little older.
It is nice to hear about the accessibility, and would love to have a chance to meet Mr. Daggett at our State Convention. Good thought there Deb!

Take care,
Cheri

It was accessible for me as the remote comes with two types of audio description And one is for the visually impaired giving you more than just what’s happening during each scene in the village by also what a sighted person is seeing. In the other areas of the museum that do not have this audio description there are a couple of mini theaters you can go into and sit down and listen to a video on a particular aspect of  Their culture. Currently, the only tactile items are pelts from the different animals that were hunted. The newly installed surface on the outside terrace on the upper floor is very cane friendly and there are new grooves to get stuck in. We met a Native American young man who was born blind and volunteers twice a week on Thursdays and Saturdays.  His name is Mike DAGGETT. He is going to try to attend our state convention in New London.
