This is one of the lesser-known Coastal Heritage Society museums in Savannah, but definitely one that I highly recommend for both visitors and Savannah natives to visit.
I love the museum, my grandparents are the ones that used to own it until they had it turned into a museum. It is a great place to learn about the community and history of PinPoint and the birth place of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
My favorite part of the tour was the Oyster Factory. You are able to view the beautiful marsh marsh, boats used to harvest the oysters and crabs, the building where the oysters are delivered and the shucking process. Personal stories on life in the factory are available through several multi-media presentations in the building.
We visited pinpoint a couple months ago when we were in Savannah. It's a great museum. The history Is fascinating, the docents knowledgeable, and the gift shop had some really cool and unusual items. I highly recommend this place.
Absolutely amazing experience!! Stunning views, super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fascinating documentary, and very interesting, informative, and hands on guided tour. Learning about the history of Pin Point was fascinating. They also have AC and clean restrooms! We will be back for sure! Thank you for such a great visit!!
This museum preserves the story of the Savannah Pin Point Community and the former A.S. Varn and Son Oyster and Crab factory. Founded in 1890, Pin Point became a self-sustaining community for Freedman from the 1890's until the factory closing in 1985.
This is a wonderful and welcoming place to visit. So interesting and heart warming to learn of how this community worked and worshipped and trusted God together. Wonderful learning experience for all. The staff is very kind and genuine. Loved it! Extremely reasonable in price as well!
The tour guides are former or current residents/employees of Pin Point and are able to provide a firsthand account of the community and factory. They also present detailed information about the various restored historic buildings on the site. A documentary in the Picking and Cooling house provides the story of the community as remembered by former residents to include Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
