ADA Accessible Second Exit
Construction began in October of 2023 to add a permanent ADA compliant second exit/entrance on the north side of the building with an earthen ramp. Although the Town had installed a temporary ADA ramp, entry through the historic front doors was challenging as they were not wide enough for a wheelchair, which limited our ability to provide inclusive community programming. The addition of the new second entrance/exit allowed the capacity of the building to increase while also enabling the FUMH to host larger events to serve even more members of the community. In addition to private philanthropic support, this project is supported in part by the Vermont Arts Council and the State of Vermont, the Walter Cerf Community Fund of the Vermont Community Foundation and the Hoehl Family Foudation. The project was completed in April 2023.
