Har-Ber Village on Grand Lake O' The Cherokees in Grove, Oklahoma needs your help! Har-Ber Village is working with the Council and Square Holes in a year-long accessibility project. This work is taking a close look at programs, policies, and grounds to make real changes that will help ALL guests visiting feel more comfortable and welcome!

They've put together a survey (about 8-10 minutes) to learn more from families & people with disabilities. This survey will ask about accessibility on their grounds, signage, calming/quiet space, and more. Your input: good, bad, or somewhere in between, will directly shape what is done: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdO5AEtmllBHJA1dEyghspiaZ2QTbSEk83vUGKq5KnRqTMV4g/viewform

At the end of the survey you can let them know if you'd like to stay involved with Har-Ber Village further, through future surveys, a community input meeting, or even joining an accessibility committee over the next year.

Thank you!

Har-Ber Village is committed to making our museum welcoming and accessible to all visitors. We recently received a grant from the Developmental Disabilities Council of Oklahoma (DDCO) to improve accessibility, with a particular focus on neurodiversity, and we're partnering with Square Holes on a nee...
