Is the Fort wheelchair/ Mobility scooter accessible?

The Pavilion is handicap accessible for sitting and picnicking. The Fort sits on a steep incline of 1/4 mile to the right. Once at the top, there is a wooden walkway that is wheelchair/ Mobility scooter friendly, but the Fort area is uneven grassy ground. The Memorial cemetery is on a steep dirt/ rocky road, and the cemetery is uneven ground. Please call Gary Masterson at 502-594-9995 or Bruce Forin at 502-333-8638  to coordinate driving up the hill.
