Thanks for your interest in Fort Hunter! The scooter will find many level areas outside in the park and the first floor of the Mansion is also accessible. Unfortunately, the second floor is not but your husband would be able to view photos of the second floor to not miss any of the sights. If you do plan to visit, a phone call ahead might make your visit more pleasurable, it will give the staff a chance to ready the spaces for your husband's scooter. 717-599-5751. Thanks and enjoy your visit!
