About Davenport House Museum Entrance and Shop

Davenport House Museum Entrance and Shop features the Urban Enslaved Exhibition, which explores the lives of thirteen enslaved people who lived in this 1820s house. Visitors take guided tours lasting about seventy minutes through the home, encountering Isaiah Davenport's office and period rooms while learning the story of both enslaved and free residents in the early nineteenth century. The museum also displays the Seven Ladies Exhibition, honoring the seven women who halted the house's 1955 demolition and founded the Historic Savannah Foundation, sparking Savannah's preservation movement. The gift shop at Historic Kennedy Pharmacy, located at the museum entrance, stocks items related to the collection. Guided tours run throughout the week with limited spots of fifteen visitors per tour. The Davenport House charges admission for most visitors, with children under six entering free, according to davenporthousemuseum.org. The museum sits in downtown Savannah at East Broughton and Habersham Streets.
