TACTILE TOURS
Tactile tours at the Columbia River Maritime Museum provide a more accessible opportunity for visitors to learn about Columbia River history through touch and verbal description. Your tour will stop around several of the museum’s galleries and include opportunities to handle a Coast Guard Immersion Suit, pelts from the maritime fur trade, and pieces from a Fresnel lighthouse lens.
Tactile tours are intended for those who are blind, visually-impaired, or feel their experience at the museum would be improved with more hands-on opportunities. You can request a tactile tour on our Group Reservation Form. In order to ensure the best possible experience for your group, please give us at least two weeks’ notice prior to your visit.
