Contribute to Savannah’s STEAM Center matching campaign and see your donation double

Progress continues on Coastal Heritage Society’s new STEAM Center at Savannah Children’s Museum, an indoor expansion opening at the end of 2025.

The STEAM Center will be located inside the 1925 historic Storehouse of the Central of Georgia Railway campus, between Savannah Children’s Museum and Georgia State Railroad Museum in Savannah.

The indoor expansion will debut Numbers in Nature, an interactive STEAM-focused exhibit that will allow visitors to step into a captivating maze of mirrors designed to challenge perceptions and spark curiosity.

Malcolm and Julia Butler have generously committed to match donations dollar-for-dollar up to $150,000 for the STEAM Center. Funds raised from this matching campaign will be used to finalize preparations to welcome guests into the new museum space.

Nora Lee, CEO of Coastal Heritage Society, expressed gratitude to all donors who share and support the vision for this new cultural and educational resource for the local community — the Butlers; City of Savannah Government for their partnership; Colonial Group, Inc., the Lesher Family Foundation, and other donors for their vision and support to help get this project off the ground.

Learn more or contribute to the STEAM Center matching campaign here.

SouthCoast Health on Everything Parents Need to Know About Eye Care

Like adults, young children should be receiving regular eye exams.

“Eye exams are more than just a way to determine whether your child may need glasses,” says SouthCoast Health optometrist, Edward D. Sammons, O.D. “They’re also a form of ongoing, preventive care.”

Some early eye problems, if left undetected and untreated, have the potential to affect vision for a child’s lifetime. Diagnosing and addressing an issue early on could prevent it from becoming a condition that’s more difficult to treat.

Learn when your child should have an eye exam here.

If you have a six years old or older child due for an eye exam, schedule an appointment with one of SouthCoast Health’s eye care providers by calling 912-691-3600.
