Bring the whole family to the Davenport House Museum this summer for a unique blend of literacy, history, and hands-on fun! Designed for children of all ages and their caregivers, Summer Storytime meets once a month to bring diverse historical eras and community stories to life inside one of Savannah's oldest homes.

Each session is a multi-sensory adventure divided into three fun parts:
• Listen: We gather inside the museum's historic drawing room for a 30-minute read-aloud of a carefully selected children's book that connects to a piece of our shared history.
• Explore & Create: We head out to the beautiful museum garden for an engaging, hands-on craft or educational activity inspired by the day’s story.
• Refresh: Kids and parents can relax and enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks together in the courtyard.

Important Details:
• Who: Open to children of all ages. All participants must be accompanied by an adult caregiver.
• Cost: Completely FREE to attend, but registration is required to ensure we have enough books and supplies for everyone.
• Where: Starts inside the Davenport House Museum and concludes in the courtyard garden.

What's included

Thanks to our wonderful community partners, every family who attends will receive a free copy of that month's featured book to take home! We are thrilled to help you grow your personal collection and keep the joy of reading alive long after your museum visit.
