Coastal Heritage Society – July 4th
COASTAL HERITAGE SOCIETY – June 28, 2010 IT WAS GREAT – LOOK FOR NEXT YEAR’S EVENT
Independence Day celebration for the Family!
Did you know there was a Revolutionary War battle fought in Savannah? The Coastal Heritage Society invites the public to join us to celebrate Savannah’s role in the fight for independence with two days of fun family activities at two very historic sites on Saturday, July 3, 10am to 5pm and Saturday, July 4, noon to 5pm. Park the car once and spend your day downtown at the historic Battlefield park to learn about the 1779 Siege of Savannah with musket firings, check out real artifacts from the battle at the Savannah History Museum, catch a ride on the steam locomotive train ride at the Roundhouse Railroad Museum, and enjoy a delicious brunch or lunch at the Whistle Stop Café. Special activities for children, including colonial games and art projects, will be offered at the Roundhouse on Sunday, July 4th only. Step into the shoes of a historic soldier by trying on period uniforms, cannon and musket firings, and learning about life as a Civil War soldier.
Old Fort Jackson, the Savannah History Museum, the Roundhouse Railroad Museum, and Battlefield Park are operated by the Coastal Heritage Society, a non profit organization that preserves two National Historic Landmarks. The mission of the Coastal Heritage Society is to preserve the cultural heritage of coastal Georgia and adjacent regions and to provide relevant educational experiences for the public.
The public is invited to attend and regular admission to each of the museums is charged. For more information, please contact the Roundhouse Railroad Museum at 912.651.6823 or Old Fort Jackson at 912.232.3945, or check out our website at www.chsgeorgia.org.
