Description:  Credle will speak on the women who have played roles in the historic preservation of the city and beyond.  It is useful to remember how far Savannah has come saving one building at a time. Women have led the way  -  both in recognizing the importance of preserving evidence of our nation’s past and in working to keep them from slipping away.   “Abigail Adams told her husband, John, to `remember the ladies,’ and that is what we will do!” says Executive Director Credle.
