Popular places to visit

The King-Tisdell Cottage is a handsomely restored 1896 Victorian cottage named for local black citizens Eugene and Sarah King, and later Mrs. King's second husband Robert Tisdell. A proposed public housing project threatened demolition of the cottage at its previous address, and it was subsequently moved to its current location. Today the King-Tisdell Cottage serves as a black culture museum. Among other things, the museum interprets Savannah and the neighboring sea islands with an emphasis on the contributions and roles of African-Americans to the region's rich history. The museum contains many interesting artifacts, including a bill of sale for slaves which was written in Arabic by plantation slaves.
