Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters

The Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters is a historic site located in Savannah, GA. The site consists of two separate buildings: the Owens-Thomas House, a grand mansion built in the early 19th century, and the Slave Quarters, a set of brick structures that housed enslaved people who worked on the property. Today, the Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters is open to the public as a museum and visitors can tour both the grand house and the more modest Slave Quarters. The site offers insights into the lives of both wealthy plantation owners and the enslaved people who lived and worked on their properties. It's an important reminder of the complex and often brutal history of slavery in the United States.
