Telfair Academy → Telfair Square

Begin in the western downtown area; railway workshops and the city-history museum need separate visits

Telfair Academy: Art museum inside a neoclassical mansion

Telfair Square: Green square between the historic academy and Jepson Center

Jepson Center → SCAD Museum of Art

Separate museum interiors from the walk between buildings; choosing one large exhibition leaves time for other stops

Jepson Center: Contemporary museum building by Moshe Safdie beside Telfair Square

SCAD Museum of Art: Contemporary art museum in a former railway complex

Savannah History Museum → Georgia State Railroad Museum

Finish at the Georgia State Railroad Museum via Battlefield Memorial Park; use streets around closed gates instead of seeking passages through museum yards

Georgia State Railroad Museum: Historic railway workshops and rolling stock
