The Davenport House Museum is a must-visit attraction for anyone interested in history and architecture. This Federal-style house is beautifully preserved and furnished with original pieces from the early 19th century. Visitors can take guided tours of the house, which include the parlor, dining room, bedrooms, and kitchen.
It was almost demolished in the 1950s to make way for a parking lot. However, a group of concerned citizens led by the Historic Savannah Foundation rallied to save the house and turn it into a museum.
