Info & Amenities
Historic house museum. Open daily.
The stately Federal-style home, built by master carpenter Isaiah Davenport for his household, provides a glimpse into 1820s domestic life in the urban port city of Savannah. In 1955 the saving of the Davenport House from demolition was the first effort of Historic Savannah Foundation, which has gone on to national prominence as a preservation leader as well as ushering in the preservation renaissance of the coastal city.
In addition to daily tours presented by trained docents, the Museum offers programs and events throughout the year.

Pleasant staff that had a tour starting five minutes after my boyfriend and I arrived, so I’m not sure what the daily schedule is, but this one was at 2pm. The house is not the most historically...

The docents at the Davenport House give the most informative tour of a historically preserved home in Savannah. I've brought guests many times and each time I have been impressed. Cute gift shop.

Not the biggest or best home but a goos representation of what homes at the time were like. Worth seeing.
