The Massie Heritage Center is the ideal place for your
kids (and you) to learn about the history of Savannah. Take a trip
to learn about the city’s architecture, and the history of people
who lived here long ago! Whether you’re visiting Savannah, or
a long-time resident, you can find something worthwhile at
Massie every time!
Massie has a long standing history. Once a public school, it
was too small to support student population. The school was a
cherished and revered institution by the locals, mostly in the
downtown area. The people of Savannah wanted reassurance that it
would be preserved and utilized as an educational resource.
One fighter for the preservation of Massie school was Emma
