Telfair Museums’ Slavery and Freedom 8th Grade Program offers eighth graders in the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) the opportunity to tour the Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters as part of their core Georgia history standards. Tours at the historic house will focus on the art, architecture, and history through the lens of slavery in an urban setting. As students explore the property, they will be learning about the lives of the wealthy white families and enslaved laborers of African descent who lived and worked here.
