Coastal Heritage Society

Founded as a maritime history organization in 1975, the Coastal Heritage Society is today a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization employing more than 120 people and managing more than $30 million in public resources in Savannah, Georgia. We serve more than 150,000 people annually at our historic sites: Old Fort Jackson National Historic Landmark, the Savannah History Museum, Battlefield Memorial Park and the Roundhouse Railroad Museum. The History Museum, Battlefield Memorial Park and the Roundhouse are located within the Central of Georgia National Historic Landmark District. Our historic preservationists restore more than a dozen structures, our archaeologists discover traces of past battles and lifestyles, our curators care for tens of thousands of artifacts, and our interpreters and education specialists bring the past alive for thousands of students and guests each year.
