As America turns 250, one museum makes history possible to touch

other

Most museums have ramps, but what about access to the story itself? As America turns 250, one institution is rethinking what accessibility truly means—by letting visitors touch history. According to NPR News, federal law requires physical access to buildings, but the exhibits inside often remain off-limits for people with blindness and other disabilities. This museum is changing that, proving that real inclusion means access to the whole experience, not just the entryway.
