Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters
Nestled amidst the bustling heart of Savannah, Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters stands as an architectural masterpiece and a poignant reminder of the city's complex history.
Built in the early 1800s by cotton merchant Richard Owens, the mansion exudes opulence and grandeur. Its elegant facade, adorned with towering columns and intricate ironwork, reflects the wealth and status of its former owner.
However, behind the mansion's gleaming exterior lies a somber tale. The property once housed enslaved people, who played an integral role in maintaining the lavish lifestyle of the Owens family.
Today, Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters serves as a museum, offering visitors a glimpse into both the grandeur and the shadows of Savannah's past. Guided tours provide a comprehensive exploration of the mansion's history, architecture, and the lives of its inhabitants.
