Dear Dan,
I cannot speak directly for Old Sturbridge Village, but I have read of their
alternatives to concrete in Historic House Museums edited by Jessica Foy
Donnelly.  The article "Balancing Our Commitments: Access and Historic
Preservation," by Valarie Coons McAllister addresses Historic Preservation
provisions of the ADA Act, 1990.  I would be glad to give a synopsis if you
do not have access to the book!
Sincerely,
Julie

&gt;
&gt;I've been asked to do a little research on what other outdoor museums
have
&gt;used to make their roads and walkways more friendly for visitors who
have
&gt;difficulty walking or use wheelchairs or scooters.  What materials have
&gt;been used, how have they held up, and do they still have a period feel
&gt;consistant with their surroundings?
&gt;
&gt;Thanks,
&gt;
