Inclement Weather Policies

Weather Related Museum closures will be posted on Social Media, and volunteers affected will be notified.

• On exceptionally hot or cold days, the Trolley Station Museum may not be opened or may be opened with limited or discouraged access.  In these cases, only social media notification will be made.

In case of emergencies related to the weather find appropriate shelter and contact the Executive Director for specific instruction.

In severe weather emergencies, such as a damaging hail or close lightning, encourage guests and staff to remain indoors within the National Road Museum and away from windows.

In the very rare case of a tornado in the immediate vicinity, use the “Restricted Areas” key to gather guests in the lower level of the National Road Museum. All guests and staff should remain in an area with significant stonework
and away from windows.  this can be near the basement stairwell or at the very front of the building.  Ensure that at least one person has a cell phone and take the museum wireless phone in order to call out of trapped by damage.
