PARKING

We enjoy sharing our unique history with you and your customers and have set aside a special parking space on School Street for permitted tour companies’ use.  

 

Bus parking is clearly marked, and parking for vans is between Dukes and Community Avenues, adjacent to our storage units and is marked “parking for Taxi and Limousines.” 

 

When parked, tour company customers can enjoy walking on the MVCMA grounds and/or visiting the Cottage Museum. Customers should take Community Avenue to Jordan Crossing, (not walk in between cottages) to get to Clinton Avenue, in order to ensure privacy of the community.

​

Permitted tours have access to the Museum Gift Shop, and porta-potties located behind the Tabernacle during the calendar year of the permit. BLACKOUT DATES APPLY: Tour vans/vehicles are not permitted to drive on the MVCMA roads during July 1 through September 15.
