Parking is available in a small lot in front of the museum, and an overflow lot across the street that is marked with a large sign.
If both are full, street parking is available on Herrick Road, but only on the same side of the street as the museum. This is important, as parking along the other side of Herrick Road could result in a visit from police officers responding to reports of illegal parking.
