"Amazing historical tour of this home! Kitty was our tour guide and one if the most knowledgeable guides we've had since our visit to the Savannah area. Actually, Kitty gave such a fantastic tour, the best out of 7 homes we've toured through Savannah. She encouraged questions and was able to answer questions on every piece asked about in the home. Our tour was about 2 hours! Phenomenal! The home had beautiful artifacts and they took care to provide seating for guests to relax during the tour. My husband is the true history buff and he was able to chime in with questions and I enjoyed everything that was shared! If you want to learn some great history and see a fantastic home, you must visit the Midway Museum! The other 2 ladies that toured with us were awesome! They were part of the historical society and added some great info too! Enjoyed their company as well! They are a non-profit, so any help is appreciated by this place."
"I hardly ever write reviews but I needed to this time. Wow….what an awesome tour given by Midge! She was thorough, didn’t make us feel rushed and had a few surprise historical notables under her sleeve!!! If you enjoy history, this is a must!"
"Very interesting place to learn about the colonial life of Georgia. Each room is nicely made up with artifacts. This is a non-profit organization so they run solely on donations. Please be sure to go by and visit and learn about how Dorchester, Darien, Savannah, Sunbury, and other parts of Georgia got their names. This is a tour ran place and it's worth the history lesson. So be sure to go by and check it out."
"Saw the sign while riding my road trip on us hwy 17 north. It was very educational and interesting. My guide was superb and she recite history and facts like an audio book. I learned some trivia and saw a lot of fabulous pieces. No you cannot take pictures so please be obliging. It took just over an hour. Well worth the stop. They have a bookstore also."
"Midway, GA has amazing number of connections to various presidencies (I counted 7) and boast three signers of the declaration of independence - this museum is an amalgamation of that history. A tour is lead by a very knowledgeable docent."
