Coastal Heritage Society (CHS) is proud to announce the first indoor expansion of Savannah Children’s Museum with the upcoming debut of Numbers in Nature, an interactive STEAM-focused exhibit that highlights the intersection of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. This exciting addition marks a new chapter for the museum and will offer year-round educational enrichment for families across the region.

“Coastal Heritage Society is so grateful to the City of Savannah for their partnership to bring this National Historic Landmark that they own back to life as a cultural and educational resource for our local community during our 50th anniversary year,” said Nora Lee, CEO of Coastal Heritage Society. “Thank you, Colonial Group, Inc., the Lesher Family Foundation, and our other donors for their vision and generous support to help get this project off the ground”.

Located within an 11,000-square-foot historic building in the heart of downtown Savannah, the exhibit will allow visitors to step into a captivating maze of mirrors designed to challenge perceptions and spark curiosity. Through hands-on activities and interactive exhibits, guests will discover the hidden patterns of nature, from spirals and symmetry to fractals and beyond.

Originally built in 1925 as the Storehouse for the Central of Georgia Railway, the building underwent extensive renovations to prepare it for its new purpose. Updates include a remodeled restroom area, a new classroom space, a brand-new roof, and the preservation of many original architectural elements.

This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Savannah Children’s Museum. Numbers in Nature is just the first step in a larger vision to expand and enhance the museum’s offerings for the community. As the museum continues to evolve, more exciting developments are on the way. Stay tuned for updates as they unfold.
