COVID-19: Health and Safety Updates

An update on Telfair Museums’ response to the coronavirus:

As concerns about the coronavirus (COVID-19) escalates, Telfair Museums’ Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters, Telfair Academy and the Jepson Center will close effective immediately through March 31, 2020.   In addition, all public programs and outreach efforts will also be put on immediate hold.

We are listening to guidance from public health officials who stress the importance of social distancing to curb the spread of COVID-19. We have decided that this precautionary measure is the safest course of action for our visitors, staff and volunteers.

Given the rapidly changing nature of the outbreak, we will continue to re-evaluate the situation in the coming days and weeks and will share updates as they become available.  Please check our website or social media channels for any adjustments.
