| Just one block from the waterfront, this small National Park Service museum houses a collection of artifacts from Cumberland Island, Georgia. Exhibits feature remembrances of the famed Carnegie family lifestyle and remnants of the Timucuan people who once inhabited the island. The "Forgotten Invasion" exhibit covers the War of 1812, including the last engagement of that war fought nearby at St. Marys' Point Peter. Curator John Mitchell has described the pieces on display as objects that visitors can use to learn how people lived on the island in the past. The exhibition draws on the museum's broader collection to highlight the lives of Native Americans, African Americans, the Carnegie family, and others who lived on the island in the 19th and 20th centuries. Amenities are accessibility for mobility-impaired and restrooms. Free admission and parking. |
