You probably didn’t know that the Georgia Historical Society located in Savannah houses an original draft copy of the United States Constitution. It’s one of only twelve in existence! It came to them in the 19th Century, but because records weren’t well kept, it’s unclear exactly how or when they acquired it. One thing is for certain–it’s the cornerstone and crown jewel of their five million objects and documents.
Visitors to the Georgia Historical Society is located in an impressive library with 36 foot high ceilings containing the largest collection of Georgia history materials. If you’re planning on doing research, you’ll need to plan your visit online, ahead of time.
A great way to learn more about Savannah and Georgia history is through visiting the historical markers throughout the state. Watch to find out more!
