SAVANNAH, Ga., January 26, 2012– The Georgia Historical Society and over 40 participating museums and historic sites in coastal Georgia and surrounding areas open their doors to the public free of charge for the 2012 Georgia History Festival’s Super Museum Sunday on Sun., Feb. 5, 2012 from noon-4 p.m.

From historic homes in downtown Savannah to colonial plantations on coastal rivers, local and visiting tourists can explore Georgia’s rich history.

“This is an excellent means for Georgians and visitors to access the plentiful history of this area,” said Dr. Todd Groce, GHS President and CEO. “Through Super Museum Sunday, we hope to promote the use of Georgia’s historic and cultural sites during this annual commemoration of our founding.”

This event is made possible by the generous donation of Atlanta Gas Light, with additional support from Savannah Morning News.
