The Portsmouth Historical Society is equipped with the following universally accessible amenities:

• Parking at the rear of the building (it’s a small lot; if there’s a problem with the cars parked, please call the front desk at (603)436-8433)
• Wheelchair ramp at rear of the building, entrance on Islington Street sidewalk
• Automatic doors at the rear of the building and at the main gallery entrances
• An elevator to access the second floor
• Universally accessible restrooms on the ground floor

The public restrooms at Portsmouth Historical Society are universally-accessible thanks to a major renovation project that was co-managed by the City of Portsmouth’s Community Development Department and its Department of Public Works, using Federal funding from a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This project was also supported in part by a grant from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts & the Arts Conservation “Mooseplate” License Plate Program.
