About
Hartwood Acres Mansion is a 1929 Tudor Revival mansion at 200 Hartwood Acres, Pittsburgh, set in a 629-acre Allegheny County park spanning Hampton and Indiana Townships. Designed by Alfred Hopkins for John and Mary Flinn Lawrence, the estate also includes a stables complex and a gate lodge. Guided mansion tours run year round, with seasonal holiday candlelight tours and three-course high teas, and tickets are booked through the county's online registration system. Outside the house, the park offers a half-mile paved Sculpture Garden path past 14 sculptures, an off-leash dog park, an amphitheater, and hiking and horseback riding trails, with free onsite guest parking. The grounds are also rented for weddings and events from May through October, though the mansion interior itself is not available for private rentals. The county does not publish accessibility details for the mansion interior, so contact the mansion at 412-767-9200 or use the county's ADA accommodation request before you visit.

Our Guidelines
1. Make Accessibility Info Easy to Find - Dedicated Website Accessibility Page

Clearly post detailed accessibility information online, covering parking, entrances, interior pathways, site plans, and more.


2. Include All Mobility Devices

Consider walkers, canes, crutches — not just wheelchairs. Provide specifics for a variety of mobility needs. Include people who use different devices in the conversation.

3. Go Beyond ADA Compliance

ADA is the minimum. Strive for real-world accessibility through thoughtful design and ongoing improvements.

4. Visibility = Accessibility

If disabled visitors aren't present, barriers may exist. Transparency and preparation are the keys to inclusion. Empower everyone to attend.
