DAVENPORT HOUSE MUSEUM
Since 1955, the Davenport House Museum, of Savannah, has served as a model for preservation, museum interpretive practices and education programming. In addition, the campaign to save the Davenport House inspired the creation of the Historic Savannah Foundation, which has helped to sustain Savannah’s unique ethic of preservation which communities across Georgia and beyond have subsequently emulated. The Federal-style of a merchant/craftsman, the Davenport House has been carefully restored and authentically interpreted. Its staff, docents, and other volunteers use the home as a stage for a variety of programs about life in 19th-Century Georgia which attract thousands of visitors annually. In addition, the House and its programming have inspired the raising of an endowment, to ensure that the structure and its programming will be offered to future generations.
