Volunteer to help build Savannah Children’s Museum
SouthernMamas readers are always telling us how much they’d love to have a Savannah Children’s Museum.
Here’s your chance to help make it happen. Work is under way to build a Savannah Children’s Museum, which will be in railroad buildings adjacent to Battlefield Park and the Roundhouse Railroad Museum downtown. Estimated completion date is late 2010.
The museum will be owned by the city of Savannah and will be operated by the Coastal Heritage Society.
The Coastal Heritage Society plans to hold monthly volunteer work days to complete the outdoor courtyard and carpentry shop play space. These spaces will provide unique and engaging outdoor gross motor activities for children of all ages as phase 1 of the museum.
Work on the monthly volunteer days will include building benches, planters, a maze, laying sod, and preparing the outdoor space. Become a member of the museum’s Workers of Wonders (WOW) team to bring the Savannah Children’s Museum to life. People of all skill levels are needed.
The first volunteer day will be 9 AM- 3 PM Sat. Sept 19
