What’s Included
Guided tour of Davenport House Museum
Access to museum rooms and garden
Step into the Heart of 1820s Savannah
Experience the unique charm and stories of the Davenport House Museum, a beautifully preserved Federal-style residence that brings the spirit of early Savannah to life. Located in the heart of Savannah, the museum offers a detailed look into the personal and social world of the 1820s through the home built by Isaiah Davenport, a talented young builder from New England.
The Builder and His Legacy
Isaiah Davenport found great success after moving to Savannah, creating one of the city’s architectural gems for his family. As you walk through the grand rooms, decorated with period furnishings and fine details, you’ll get a vivid picture of life during the city’s formative years. Each space tells a story, from the bustling family quarters to the staff rooms that supported the household’s daily life.
Stories of the Household and Staff
The guided tour not only covers the Davenport family’s experiences but also highlights the lives of the people who lived and worked in the house. Discover how daily routines, customs and traditions shaped life in this thriving coastal city.
The Power of Preservation
The Davenport House Museum is not simply a relic of Savannah’s past. In 1955, seven determined women stepped forward to save the house from demolition, igniting a local preservation movement that led to the founding of the Historic Savannah Foundation. Thanks to their tireless efforts, both the Davenport House and much of Savannah’s architectural wonders stand today for all to appreciate and learn from.
Garden Walk and Insightful Exhibits
Enjoy the serene urban garden that complements the house, offering visitors a peaceful spot to imagine the city’s evolving landscape. Exhibits throughout the museum help explain both the building’s historical role and the ongoing efforts to maintain Savannah’s unique heritage.
