“Serving Savannah since 1840”
The Massie Heritage strives to create a greater appreciation of Savannah’s rich cultural heritage by preserving the historic Massie School as an interactive exhibit space and educational facility where both students and the general public can participate in interpretive programs that are designed to stimulate curiosity and to help achieve academic goals. For nearly four decades, the Massie Heritage Center has continued to provide interpretive programs both inside the facility with educational its exhibits and outside on the streets and squares of Savannah’s downtown historic district. Program topics have included: local history, architecture, city planning, character education, the history of public schools, and heritage education. The May Day Festival, an annual event at Massie since its earliest days, has continued each spring on Calhoun Square. Massie has also hosted various workshops, including a statewide conference on heritage education in 1985. The annual Georgia history celebration held each February in Savannah began at Massie and continued here until 1997, when the Georgia Historical Society began coordinating the event, which still includes participation by Massie. Several prominent visitors have spoken at Massie over the years, including Antoinette Lee, Lynne Cheney, and Diane Ravitch. Massie has been recognized for its work in education and in historic preservation by the National Trust, the Georgia Trust, and the Georgia Humanities Council.
