Fall Family Day at the Davenport House Museum was so fun! The kids enjoyed learning about the children who once lived in the house, they made beeswax candles, got their faces painted, and more! Plus, I finally got to see the completed basement dedicated to the enslaved people who once worked in the home. The Historic Savannah Foundation did a beautiful job on the restoration. Thank you Davenport House for a wonderful afternoon!!

DELIGHTFUL!!! Visited 7/11/24 as part of our trolley ticket package. Beautifully built home that has withstood the ravages of time amazingly well. Tickets are purchased behind the home in a former pharmacy that’s now the visitor center and gift shop (ask to see the spot in the floor where the pharmacist always stood to fill prescriptions). If you’re early for your tour take time to read about Savannah in the visitors center and the amazing women who spearheaded the restoration effort of historical homes that had been headed for destruction, of which the Davenport was the first. The tour was about 90 minutes and really interesting. Park in the neighborhood street side or in a public lot/garage. Within walking distance to many other squares and homes to tour. Sunny miss this gem when visiting Savannah!

caroline was my tour guide. i highly recommend her tours and she made me feel like i got my moneys worth. she was EXTREMELY friendly and talkative when giving our group a tour and was very interactive with her audience. she left a lot of room for questions which peaked my interest about this house. she explained the history of this house with much charisma and elegance. i thought that this house was very historical and vintage and caroline did an amazing job of explaining the history behind this beautiful piece of history. she is a very fine young woman. kudos to caroline! 👏👏👏

I've been in the Davenport house several times over the years and recently stopped in again. The home has undergone some recent updates to the basement; showing the kitchen, dining, and cleaning rooms. I do wish there were some interior design updates to the main house, as it's quite empty furniture wise, compared to other house museums. It would be nice to hear more about the Davenport family while touring instead of so much focus on the builder and yellow fever. But overall, it's a very nice depiction of the era and what the house would have looked like in the 1800s.

If you are any bit of a history buff like I am, then you will love this adorable, well built homes of our nation's history. My only warning is that you dont individual tickets to these houses, but instead you buy tickets from the boat museum that cover multiple houses for a reduced/discounted price. But enjoy the walk to each one and really take in all Savannah has to offer. So beautiful and romantic and it has been heavily revamped for modern days but the city has also taken to maintaining the beauty and integrity of their historical buildings
