Excellent visit and tour led by a volunteer through the history of Savannah, house and grounds. The building was the home of a local builder/contractor with each room showing the available options to pay for! Restoration continues throughout the building and grounds. Well worth the visit.

Truly excellent and professional tour of this well-preserved merchant class home in Savannah. Guide was knowledgeable and was well prepared to lead a group through the home. Restoration of the basement portion of the home is ongoing. Lovely gift shop. Would highly recommend.

Enjoyed the tour of this home. So much history there. Our tickets were bought in a historic building (an old drug store) behind the house. While waiting for the next tour, you could read about the home and area.

Many of the tours mention the well-known house tours, but this one I found while researching home tours in Savannah. On our last morning in town we had a couple hours left and I’m embarrassed to say this now, but we figured this was a good filler tour. OH HOW WRONG WE WERE! This was one of two AMAZING home tours we had in the five days we were there (Green Meldrim House being the other). This house started the preservation movement in Savannah, and the history record of this house is superb. Our tour guide was awesome, bringing the stories of the Davenports to life in such detail that you leave feeling as though past and present melded. Mr Davenport was an exceptionally skilled carpenter and used his home as a model for clients. The story of his wife Sarah is fascinating. I can’t remember the lady’s name (in blue in the photos) but she was amazing!!! Don’t miss it!!!!

Davenport House Museum is an example of a beautifully restored Federal-style house in the historic district of Savannah. Thanks to the efforts of a special group of women this home built in 1820 was saved to be enjoyed by future generations. One begins a tour in the visitor's area where there is a timeline on display showing the history of the restoration of the home once used as a tenement home. The home actually has its original floors, woodwork and staircase. Davenport House proudly sits on Columbia Square.

We appreciated the story behind the donation of this house to be a museum. It's a nice collection; a bit small, but fine for the space. Not worth the separate entrance fee if this is the only thing you do, but combined with the other sights affiliated with it, it is great.
