Telfair Museums provides many opportunities for families to visit the museum, learn, and make art together. If you’re looking for a fun and educational activity for children, you’ve come to the right place!
Step into the vivid, hand-drawn world of William O. Golding—Savannah-born sailor, storyteller, and self-taught artist. Through interactive exhibits and animated journeys, children can touch, explore, and reimagine the ports and ships that shaped both Golding’s life and Savannah’s maritime legacy. His childlike drawings invite young visitors to see their own city with fresh eyes—and to create their own stories in color and line.
