    Savannah – Museums

    The fact that Savannah is the one of the oldest America’s costal town means that with that status comes great history, culture, and heritage. Having such a long and rich history implies having diverse, interesting and beautiful museums that cherish memories but also keep track of past events. The museums in Savannah are either in contemporary buildings while some are outdoor sites. There are even 19th-century houses that serve as their own museums and have tales of their own tell. If you are a history geek, lover of old and beautiful tales or just passing by, below you will find a couple of must see places in Savannah.

    The Ruins of Colonial Wormsloe

    If you are looking for all in one package then for sure you have to visit the Colonial Wormsloe. It is a unique outdoor venue. The entire site is based among huge whimsical live oaks and Spanish moss in the outskirts of Southside, Savannah. While walking the site, you will see old ruins from Wormsloe village, one of the oldest structures in Savannah. There you will find so called Tabby – a building material made out of lime, sand, and seashells. Also, you can go for a tour where you will find artifacts from Wormsloe preserved. Wormsloe is for sure a fun history place for everyone.

    Wormsloe is a fortified house what was constructed between 1739 and 1745 using nothing but tabby and wood. Tabby is a crude type like concrete made from lime and oysrer shells. The house was built with wallls reaching
    8 feet and bastions at each four corners. The fortress was one an a half stories high and had five rooms.General Oglethorpe called it a fort for 12 marine soldiers garrison and a scout boat so it could patrol the river. The name “Wormslow” probably comes from Wormslow Hundred, Herefordshire, from where the Jones family came from. There’s one more theory out there. It says that the name is Wormsloe because Jones tried to cultivate silkworms at the plantation, but that theory is not likely.This fort was built because the English were afraid that the Spanish would try to force them out of that area between Frederica and Savannah townsite.
    When the war ended in 1748, the Spanish threat was largley neutralized to the new colony.

    The arched entrance to the Wormsloe historic site is close to the Skidaway Road, near the Isle of Hope Community.The state controles a large area that includes the scenic oak-lined avenue, a museum, and a walking trail that leads in and through the dense maritime forest to the ruins of the famous tabby fort that was built by Jones in year 1745.

    Here are the directions from the historic site to South Shore Roofing:
    You should head northwest on GA-204 Spur W. You want to use the two left lanes to turn left to merge onto Harry S Truman Pkwy. Take a sharp right onto Abercorn St. Just continue straight to stay on Abercorn St.
    Use the left lane to turn left onto White Bluff Rd. After that just continue straight to stay on White Bluff Rd. Turn right onto Wheeler St. We should be on your left side.

    Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences

    Opened back in 1886, it is one of the oldest public art museums in the South. The stunning beauty of this architecture and art can rarely be seen. The mansion itself was built back in 1819 for the heirs of Georgia governor Edward Telfair. In Telfair you can find European and American artwork from the 19th and 20th century. You can lose hours in the ornate museum and see works from a variety of artists. Oh, and if you are a coffee lover check out the Gallery Espresso for a cup of coffee afterward.
    Davenport House

    The Davenport House has become a public museum since 1963, showcasing an authentic 19th century Georgia home, decorations and lifestyle. The entire home is frozen in time, from the moment when Isaiah Davenport died in the 1820s. There you can find the wallpapers, furniture and everything else that was in style back in the 19th century, and since 1955 the house becomes the office for the Historic Savannah Foundation, whose goal was to keep the history and spirit of an old house like Davenport in the Savannah community. Find some time and take a short tour through the history that can be found there.

    Savannah College of Art and Design

    The city of Savannah is home to one of the best art colleges in the US; some might even say the world. As part of the college, a museum was founded to improve further the education of students attending the college. In the museum you can find Walter O. Evans exhibit, the Earle W. Newton exhibits alongside a 19th and 20th-century photography collection, costume collection, and other contemporary exhibits. What is great about the museum is the fact that you can find art done by students, professors, and alumni which can be bought for a price.
