Museum

        The Richmond Hill Historical Society Museum is a repository of information and artifacts highlighting the history of Ways Station, Richmond Hill, Bryan Neck, Keller, and all of Bryan County. We also act as an unofficial welcome center; directing visitors to places of interest in our area. The building that the Museum is housed in was built by Henry Ford in 1941 and acted as the public Kindergarten for local children. The building has lived many lives since its’ inception. The Museum is a resource for books, maps, items of interest, personal stories, and historical information indigenous to our coastal region and highlighting the people who came before us. Children and adults alike can come to the Museum and touch a bit of the past.

The school was a voluntary project of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford, who had a winter home, here in Richmond Hill. It is now the Richmond Hill Historical Society's Museum. Displays of the Colonial Era, Revolutionary War Era, Civil War Era and the Henry Ford Era are located here. The building is currently owned by Magnolia Manor. They have graciously allowed the Historical Society to use the building for their meetings and museum displays.

From I-95, Exit 90, take GA Hwy. 144(East), the museum is on the right hand side on the corner of Ford Avenue and Timber Trail Road.
