The Savannah History Museum has so much potential. Savannah is the first city in Georgia, the first…read morecapital of Georgia, the first planned city in America, the site of Georgia's largest revolutionary war battle (Siege of Savannah), the terminus of General Sherman's Civil War March to the Sea, the birthplace of famous Americans like Juliette Gordon Low, Clarence Thomas, and Flannery O'Connor, the site of over 2500 historically significant properties, and is an American cultural staple (Forrest Gump, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, ghosts, etc.). Strangely enough, the museum instead chooses to lead with exhibits like "1920s dentistry," "wildlife of the barrier islands," and "steam locomotives." When patrons finally get to the Savannah exhibits, the confusion intensifies. The exhibit on Savannah in WWII predeceases the exhibit on Savannah in the Civil War, and Savannah's revolutionary war history is told out of order. Perhaps the worst curation atrocity is that the museum's most famous piece, the "Forrest Gump bench," is behind a glass case. Really? The whole point of museums is interacting with history, and something as sturdy and repairable as a steel bench is a perfect "interactive exhibit" piece. Imagine how much more museum goers would enjoy their experience if they could get their photo taken on Forrest Gump's bench (perhaps even with a wax Tom Hanks sitting on it too!). Forrest Gump was released in 1994 and that bench won't be worth more than the steel its made with in 40 years--no reason to keep it behind a glass case. America is teaming with museum curators desperate for employment. The average SCAD Museum Studies major would froth at the mouth for an opportunity to curate a history museum for such a storied city like Savannah. Please bring in a professional to renovate this museum and have it live up to its true potential.

I would say the inside is more geared towards older children (at least 10+) and adults. My 6 and 2 year old could have cared less about any of the exhibits. They went through the mirror maze several times, but my 2 year old kept bashing into the mirrors. The outdoor portion was better. There was quite a few things for younger kids to do, to include a water table, painting on plexiglass glass, a dinosaur scavenger hunt, games, building blocks, play structure, etc. They had some tables and chairs set up for crafts, story time, and even let the kids pet a tortoise. While this area was nice, I felt like a lot of these activities could be found or done for free at local parks or a library. It was a nice break from the beach, but I don't think the cost is worth it for me to go back or refer it to friends.

She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and kind--especially with our three small children. Lorie gave us a brief history of how the museum started and explained the items came from Mr. Webb's personal collection. She answered all of the kids' questions with patience and kindness, which made the experience even more enjoyable for our family. The collection itself is very impressive, featuring artifacts from the U.S., Germany, the Vietnam era, and even items connected to Hussein. There is so much to see and learn. We truly appreciated the warm welcome and the time Lorie spent with us. It made our visit memorable!

While the owner was not there the day I visited, the retired Army medic who was working was nonetheless able to provide a lot of detailed information about the provenance of some of the artifacts. Pretty much the whole military history of the country is covered, and while you certainly won't get a comprehensive historical treatise, for someone who is already knowledgeable, the details here will add color to textbook history. For me, I had to settle for this after finding that Parris Island was closed to non-service members for the weekend, and while it certainly is nothing like that experience would have been, this little museum nonetheless provides a compelling entry to the variety of historical sites in Savannah.
