Red HolidayHighly recommended. I was hesitant to walk over from the Beech Institute cause it seemed quite a hike on Google maps. But I'm glad I did because I got to see a lot of great homes and it wasn't that far at all. Really interesting history and Iman is very knowledgeable and great personality.

Danielle PIm so thankful that Beautiful Savannah is located fairly close to my nesting spot! On one of my weekend getaways I decided to visit some black history sites while roaming around. Kings Tisdell Cottage has been on my list for many yrs, so finally. They are located in a great area outside and have plenty of free parking. This is a rare gem in Savannah, there is normally no free paring anywhere in Savannah. I went at right when they opened up, so I didn't have to worry about the crowds. The cost is $7 for Military ID holders, I believe $10 for all others. The guide was very informative and welcoming during the tour. The house is packed with a lot of information, I stayed approx. 1hr to listen to tour and browse a bit. The guide also gave me some useful information to do during my stay in Savannah. I travel yrly to Savannah but I appreciated all her tips since she has lived in the area for 20yrs. Savannah’s King-Tisdell Cottage is dedicated to the preservation of African American history and culture. The cottage is named for Eugene and Sarah King, and Mrs. King’s second husband, Robert Tisdell, former owners of the cottage. It contains many interesting artifacts and is furnished with period pieces typical of a coastal black residence of the 1890s. The works of African-American sculptor Ulysses Davis (1913-1990) are featured here and at the Beach Institute.

C SamOur tour guide was amazing; she took us on an intimate, personal journey of the African American community in Savannah as told through the story of the King-Tisdell Cottage. A unique experience that should not be missed on a visit to Savannah.

David FairI can't recommend Miss Imani as a tour guide highly enough. She's incredibly passionate and knowledgable about the house and Savannah Black communities. This was a really special part of my vacation experience.
