Massie Heritage Center

Massie Heritage Center is an education museum on Gordon Street that displays rooms showing typical school classrooms from different time periods. The building itself has a distinctive gable roof, a wood cupola on top, and decorated cornices that shape its appearance.

The building started in 1856 as Savannah's first free public school and received two additional wings over the following decades. These expansions show how much the city was growing and how important education had become.

The center displays how teaching looked in Savannah long ago and what materials teachers actually used in their classrooms. You can see how school classes were organized and what books and objects were part of daily learning.

The museum is easy to reach on foot in downtown Savannah and has several rooms you can explore at a relaxed pace. It helps to spend time in each classroom display to fully take in the details and context.

The center displays a detailed three-dimensional model of Savannah that uses lights to mark where major fires happened in the city's past. This hands-on model helps visitors understand Savannah's fire history in a visual and spatial way.
