About Davenport House Museum Entrance and Shop

The Davenport House Museum, located at the Historic Kennedy Pharmacy in Savannah, Georgia, preserves an 1820s Federal-style home and tells the stories of those who lived there. Visitors take guided tours through the house, exploring period rooms and learning about the Davenport family and the thirteen enslaved people who lived there. The Urban Enslaved Exhibition examines the lives of enslaved residents, while the Seven Ladies Exhibition tells the story of the women who saved the house from demolition in 1955, launching Savannah's preservation movement. Tours last approximately seventy minutes and are limited to fifteen people, with multiple tour times available throughout the week. The museum also operates a gift shop at the Historic Kennedy Pharmacy location. Guided tours involve climbing three sets of curved stairs with handrails, though the exhibitions are wheelchair accessible. The Davenport House suits history enthusiasts and those interested in architectural preservation and early nineteenth-century life in Savannah.
