By early next year, Savannahians and tourists alike will be able to enjoy an upgrade and expansion to the Davenport House Museum, one of the Historic District’s most popular landmarks.
The Kennedy Pharmacy, one of the few remaining wooden storefronts on East Broughton located behind the Davenport House, is currently undergoing restoration, and a new exhibit is underway as well.
Once complete, the Kennedy Pharmacy, a once-shuttered building, will turn into a gift shop for the Davenport Museum showcasing a “blend of historical details with modern amenities” said a Historic Savannah Foundation press release.
The building will also house the tour ticketing area, restrooms, and upstairs offices for Davenport House Museum staff, which will free up space on the first floor of the Davenport building for the new Urban Enslaved exhibit.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - May is National Historic Preservation Month and itâs no secret the past is very present in Savannah. This month is all about celebrating what makes the Hostess City unique.
âItâs extraordinary that in Savannah the way we build is by preserving our past and I donât think thereâs any other community that has more dedicated individuals and organizations to preserve not just the aesthetics, and not just the history, but our culture through our storytelling and our placemaking,â said Michael Owens, President and CEO of Tourism Leadership Council.
May is National Historic Preservation Month, and the Sheridan County Historic Preservation Commission will be celebrating with a number of activities.
Edre Maier and Kristin Campbell were guests on Sheridan Media’s talk show Public Pulse this week, and Campbell discussed National Historic Preservation Month.
This is the first year that Sheridan has been involved in the celebration, which Maier said is exciting because Sheridan has so much to offer from a historical standpoint.
Campbell said the Sheridan County Historic Preservation Commission was disbanded a few years ago but was recently reestablished by the Sheridan County Commission.
