Get ready for a day of family fun, as Telfair Museums’ Jepson Center offers a free all-ages event celebrating The Age of Armor, 10AM-5PM Sat. Aug. 19 2023

Visitors can see armor and mock battle demonstrations throughout the afternoon presented by the Shire of Forth Castle (Savannah area chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism) and members of Schola St. George (a group focused on the knightly culture and chivalric arts of the later Middle Ages) from Atlanta and the Southeast.

If you’re a local Chatham County resident or student, admission is waived for you to join in the Free Family fun. All you need to do is show proof of residency or enrollment at the front desk.
