NOW OPEN!
Loyalists & Liberty: Savannah in the American Revolution is now open at Savannah History Museum.
The new exhibition features 17 restored Revolutionary War-era cannons and other remarkable artifacts recovered from the Savannah River near Old Fort Jackson in 2021-22.
Loyalists & Liberty is open during normal museum hours, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., seven days a week.
In addition to the 17 newly restored cannons, two cannons displayed in their original found condition, three anchor fragments, and other incredible objects are on display.
Spanning approximately 3,000 square feet, this landmark exhibit presents narratives more reflective of diverse participation in the Revolution, highlights Georgia’s role in the movement, and expands on naval stories of the region.
This project has been a true community effort, and we are so grateful for the outpouring of support from corporations, heritage organizations, and individuals.
Visit our cannon sponsorship page to learn more about the history behind these remarkable artifacts and our generous donors.
