The Telfair is a beautiful albeit small classical art museum housed in a historic mansion…read more A $30 ticket gets you into the Owens-Thomas House and Slave Quarters, the Telfair Academy, and the Jepsen Center. It's definitely worth it to stop in on the Telfair Academy to get your money's worth! There are several floors of artwork, but each floor is relatively small. The architecture of the building is stunning! I think I breezed through the museum in about one hour. The Telfair Academy is the location of the statue from the cover of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil! If you're a fan of the book/movie, make sure to stop in to see the statue and read more about the history of Bonaventure Cemetery!

Honestly, I visited since I had some time to kill and they participate in the Bank of America Museums of Us program, which provides complimentary admission to cardholders the first full weekend of every month. While I do like art museums, modern art is generally not my cup of tea despite my many attempts to keep an open mind about it over the years. For a college/learning institution-based museum, it's pretty middle of the rung in its offerings. You can easily cover all the galleries within 10 minutes to an hour depending on your level of interest. They have a section of bells, which I found very unique. All of the staff I encountered throughout the museum were friendly, and the ones in the bell section were happy to ring bells upon request so guests can hear the resonance. While I wasn't overly impressed with the modern art on display, I did enjoy my short visit, and would recommend the SCAD Museum as a rainy day activity in Savannah to those who appreciate smaller museums focusing on modern art.

Take exit 49 at Darien, Georgia off of I-95 and you'll be at this place in a matter of minutes. Built by the British in 1721, this fort stands as the oldest English fort on Georgia's coast. It was originally constructed to protect the southernmost part of the British colonies from Spanish forces and Native tribes. Though it faced many challenges, including disease and harsh weather, it became a symbol of determination and survival. Walking through Fort King George today feels like stepping back into time. The reconstructed fort gives you a glimpse into what life was like for the soldiers stationed here. You can explore the blockhouse, barracks, and guardhouse, which are exact replicas of the original structures built nearly 300 years ago. Climb to the top of the blockhouse, and you'll be greeted with sweeping views of the river and marshland, a reminder of why this spot was so strategic. But this site isn't just about military history. It's also a window into the cultures that shaped the area. The nearby museum shares the stories of the Guale tribe, who lived along the river long before the fort was built. You'll also learn about the Scottish Highlanders who later settled in the area and gave Darien its unique identity. What makes Fort King George so special is how it blends history with nature. The surrounding landscape is stunning, with moss-draped oak trees, tidal creeks, and expansive marshes teeming with wildlife. It's the perfect setting for a peaceful walk or a family picnic after exploring the fort. The office / store offers many books about local history and culture. I left with two bags of books! You can view the orientation film about the fort and then tour the site.

I knew that British loyalists had a presence in South Carolina during the Colonial period after…read moreseeing some history on Hilton Head Island. I was pleased to learn that they were as far south as Darien at the same time. This was their southernmost outpost and the fort was built to help protect the area from the Spanish, who had their own colonies in the new world and were in Florida. The fort and battlements have been reconstructed and offer a great opportunity to see what life would have been like here in the 1700s. In addition to the grounds and the fort structures, there is a cemetery. None of the soldiers who died here was a result of battle, instead it was due to dysentery and malaria. Mosquitoes were quite strong back then and remain so today as I got pretty well attacked by them when outdoors. Indoors is a museum with artifacts and displays angled for school age learnings about life in the 1700s and what it would be like as a soldier in the fort at the time. The fort is only a couple of miles off I-95 so if you're looking for a break on the highway, this is a good choice. [Review 15736 overall - 419 in Georgia - 1240 of 2021.]

Whoa, I was not prepared for how amazing this place was!…read more When we first arrived I thought it would be just kind of a silly tourist trap thing, but boy was I wrong! It is a very large collection of everything spooky, odd and strange! There are entire rooms focused on serial killers, such as Gacy, HH Holmes and Richard Ramirez. We were in there for a very long time and learned so much from the women running the tour. There was even a guy in our group who had been childhood friends with one of Gacy's victims, which was incredibly surreal and really hit home how real all of this was, and not just entertainment. They also have, or are going to have, another location in Chicago which is very exciting and I would definitely seek that out next time I am there. All in all a 10/10 experience.

There was so much to read, so much to see, and so much to experience. This is a very dark museum so if you have a weak stomach, are faint of heart if easily disturbed I would not recommend. Even still you are heavily warned about what is in each room should you not want to see or experience something by the staff. They were so helpful!! Their regular price is $25 OR $50 for a two day pass, tshirt, tote (or a pin), and sticker. Absolutely great deal if you're wanting some merch. Very spooky, eerie, and overall an interesting time!
