The museum does "Loyalists and Liberty " tours at the site of the Battle of Savannah across the street. Kids will enjoy carrying the prop guns, while the docent will fire a real one (it's loud ).
Lots of history at this small museum ! Worth the stop for any history buff!
Great place to get the general history of Savannah. They have two wonderful tours . One is the loyalist and liberty your and frogtown tour .
Fun enactment that caught us by surprise. The viewers take part of the act. It was very informative and well presented.
Conveniently behind visitors center. Includes movie about history of the city
Forest Gump Bench here. $7 to get in. Neat WW 2 Army nurse corp uniforms, civil war uniforms and other neat stuff. Very cold being a sweater!
Home to the bench from Forrest Gump where he waited.
A must stop by to see Georgia history!
Take the white trollys if you get a chance, by far the best way too see savannah.
I love it!
Not worth the $7 admission fee, even though there's the Forrest Gump bench (there's the park where he sat and that's free to visit).
Muy bonito , cuenta la historia del pueblo americano y la lucha de la raza negra para liberación.
