Accessibility
The LBM is committed to working towards an accessible environment for all. All of our buildings have limited access for those who are mobility-challenged. However, both the Old County Courthouse and the Centennial Building (including the Temporary Exhibition) have access ramps. The Temporary Exhibition space is step-free.
