ENTRANCES TO THE MUSEUM: 

There will be two main entrances to the museum (main floor) that are identified with brown and white signs (two brown and white “Museum” signs, one marked for ADA): the “Robeson Study” is the first entrance along the boardwalk from the Belvidere Ave. parking area. “Reception Room” has an ADA accessible entrance (it is the second entrance along the boardwalk from the Belvidere Ave. parking area). If you need any assistance, please speak with one of our volunteers.

EXTERIOR BORDER & DRIVEWAY WALLS: Our walls are delicate and fragile due to age and in order to avoid any potential injuries to you or damage to the site, we ask that visitors (children in particular) not climb, walk or jump off of them. (This also includes the old stone stairs on our neighbors’ property near the Belvidere Ave. parking area.)

SERVICE ANIMALS & PETS ON SITE: In accordance with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) and NJ Law Against Discrimination, the only animals permitted inside of County buildings are licensed service animals who have been trained to provide a specific service or function to an individual with a disability. As per the ADA definition of service animal, it states, “dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities.” If you bring your pets onto the Shippen site for concerts or to visit during the day (outside only), all pets must be leashed at all times. Please clean up after your pets, as we do not have a waste station.

If additional ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accommodations are required, all requests must be submitted in writing up to two (2) weeks prior to the programming event and we will do our best to accommodate. Please send all ADA accommodation requests to Gina Rosseland or send a letter to our offices at Shippen Manor (8 Belvidere Ave., Oxford, NJ 07863). (908) 453-4381, x. 223.
