Accessibility
Here, there, and everywhere
Indoor public spaces are fully ADA compliant. Outdoors, the Elgin Train Depot, Blue Beaver Schoolhouse, and Trading Post are accessible. But they are spread out! So, be prepared for an adventure. And watch out for prairie dog holes if you stray from the sidewalk!
