Many a child dreams of escaping the world’s cares by climbing into a treehouse. But for a child or adult with mobility needs, such as those who use wheelchairs, such a climb might normally prove out of reach.

The Treehouse Guys, LLC, a company in Warren, Vermont, set out to change that, designing treehouses with ramps allowing access by many means, including by foot and wheelchair.

And one is set to open in Burlington.

The town will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony Nov. 19, 1 p.m. at the treehouse, located in Simonds Park, near the Town Common.
