There are approximately 2 million polio survivors still
alive in America today and an alarming number are
experiencing Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS), which is
unexpected and often disabling new symptoms
occurring over 40 years after the initial poliovirus.

promoting public awareness of polio, Post-Polio
Syndrome, polio immunizations, the Global Polio
Eradication Project, local accessibility issues, and to let

Accessibility Guide to Savannah’s Historic District 2
Welcome to Our Community
On behalf of our Disability Council, we are pleased and honored to present you with this inaugural edition of our
accessibility guide to the Historic District. This work is the collaborative product of local advocates who want to share
their respective knowledge of accessible places which make our community unique. Our goal is to enhance your experience and to share with you the place that we call home.
Typically, historical cities have presented visitors and residents with a variety of accessibility challenges. From the
veteran with a newly acquired limitation to a newborn who is experiencing Savannah anew from a stroller, we recognize that our community has barriers. But a barrier removed for one is a barrier removed for all. Our group has
attempted to provide you with a compilation of organizations and facilities which have responded to the challenges
and epitomized Savannah’s hospitality by removing barriers which have long limited those with disabilities from truly
enjoying their visit.
Our local leaders have committed themselves to the strategic vision that accessibility and history are not at odds. By
directing resources and resolve to easing access through the stately squares, along our riverwalk, on and off of our
trolleys, busses and ferries, and into our places of interest, we hope that we have provided for the enjoyment of the
broadest diversity of abilities and disabilities, age and limitation. We welcome you to the beauty that each of us enjoys
every day. We hope that you find this guide useful and that you will share it with your friends and family with the same
spirit of collegiality that has made it possible.
