Savannah History Museum in Savannah, GA


Built in the 1850s and 1860s, the Savannah History Museum is a National Historic Landmark.

Until 1972, the Central of Georgia Railway occupied the building followed by The Great Savannah Exposition which opened up the building in 1984. Almost a decade later, The Coastal Heritage Society began operating the building when it then became the Savanna History Museum. Now, the museum contains over 10,000 artifacts displaying the Savannah's history from its founding to its current state.

You'll see historical displays such as Revolutionary War Battle of Savannah, 1800 rare dugout canoes, women's fashions from the 19th and 20th centuries exhibits, as well as other interesting displays including Forest Gump's bench, a Johnny Mercer Oscar Award, and a carriage that was once owned by the family of Girl Scouts founder Juliett Gordon Lowe. There are many other exhibits including weapons and military uniforms and, of course, Savannah's railway history. Enjoy these and more fascinating exhibits at Savannah History Museum.
