Get ready for a day of family fun, as Telfair offers an all-ages event celebrating The Age of Armor.

SCA members will demonstrate period crafts, and children will make art projects inspired by the exhibition. Don’t forget, Telfair’s Children’s Art Museum will also be open free to residents on this day.

Admission is free to local residents including the City of Savannah, Chatham, Bryan, Bulloch, Effingham, Liberty and Beaufort Counties.
