This museum does provide an overview of the city's history, and it is next to the visitor's center and therefore convenient. However, the material in many of the exhibits needs to be updated or provide more depth of information, and overall, the exhibits need to be better integrated to tell the story of Savannah.

Nice museum, they had a train on display, a couple old cars, quilts, the bench forest gump sat on ..... and a cute little area where kids can try on different hats...mine loved that. Looks like they are expanding so there might be more stuff to see soon More
