Visit the museum
2022 Hours
Nov. 1, 2022 through May 13, 2023: Open 10am - 4pm Fridays and Saturdays, including the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Closed:
- Thanksgiving Day and the Friday after Thanksgiving
- Dec. 19-Jan. 12
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.

Groups: We are happy to work with school and community groups to arrange programs or tours of the museum. For details, contact Melinda Rice-Schoon, Director of Engagement & Communications, at mel@wendellgilleymuseum.org . Visits to the museum are currently subject to state rules and best practices for the prevention of the spread of Covid-19.
Wheelchair Accessibility: The museum’s side entrance provides easy access for wheelchair users. All public facilities, including restrooms, are on the ground floor and are barrier-free.
Our Mask Policy
The Wendell Gilley Museum welcomes visitors of all ages and strives to create a safe and hospitable environment. Because many of our visitors cannot receive a vaccine for Covid-19 – including those with conditions that put them at high risk, and very young children – we ask that everyone wear a mask while on museum property. We look forward to seeing you, and offer our thanks in advance for helping us create the safest possible experience for everyone.
