Very interesting local black history. Imani, our house host was one of the best Ive ever had. She has a fabulous personality. This is a little house but a fun, enjoyable and educational experience.

Im so thankful that Beautiful Savannah is located fairly close to my nesting spot! On one of my weekend getaways I decided to visit some black history sites while roaming around. Kings Tisdell Cottage has been on my list for many yrs, so finally.They are located in a great area outside and have plenty of free parking. This is a rare gem in Savannah, there is normally no free paring anywhere in Savannah. I went at right when they opened up, so I didnt have to worry about the crowds. The cost is $7 for Military ID holders, I believe $10 for all others. The guide was very informative and welcoming during the tour. The house is packed with a lot of information, I stayed approx. 1hr to listen to tour and browse a bit. The guide also gave me some useful information to do during my stay in Savannah. I travel yrly to Savannah but I appreciated all her tips since she has lived in the area for 20yrs.Savannah’s King-Tisdell Cottage is dedicated to the preservation of African American history and culture. The cottage is named for Eugene and Sarah King, and Mrs. King’s second husband, Robert Tisdell, former owners of the cottage. It contains many interesting artifacts and is furnished with period pieces typical of a coastal black residence of the 1890s. The works of African-American sculptor Ulysses Davis (1913-1990) are featured here and at the Beach Institute.

Much of Savannahs history is shrouded in what is the unknown given select.When visiting Savannah in the early eighties the King Tisdell was and still very much today refuge of enlightenment in urban city firsts.
