An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and visitors and staff with underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness. By visiting Cairnwood Estate and the Bryn Athyn Historic District, visitors voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19. Cairnwood Estate remains committed to prioritizing the health, safety, and well-being of all guests and staff. To that end, we encourage guests and staff alike to continue to remain mindful of physical distancing and other measures to help keep each other healthy. Thank you.
