The stately Federal-style home, built by master carpenter Isaiah Davenport for his household, provides a glimpse into 1820s domestic life in the urban port city of Savannah. In 1955 the saving of the Davenport House from demolition was the first effort of Historic Savannah Foundation, which has gone on to national prominence as a preservation leader as well as ushering in the preservation renaissance of the coastal city.

Can you tell the difference between history and complete nonsense? 🧐

Join host and comedian J. Steinbrunner () and a brilliant panel of comics tomorrow night to get your B.S. in History—an interactive evening where the truth is up for debate!

A B.S. in History

Audience members choose which curious objects from the Davenport House collection come into play, then listen as our comedians tell their stories. Only one version is rooted in historical fact. The other two? Complete B.S. Decide who's telling the truth, test your instincts, and see if you can separate real history from brilliantly convincing fiction.

Meet the Comedians:

Bob Aneshansel (.in.sav): An improvisor and standup comedian based in Savannah, GA. He has performed across the country and in comedy festivals both stateside and internationally. Catch him locally at Front Porch Improv and co-producing standup with Lowcountry Comedy.

Matt Hogan (): A Savannah-based stand-up comedian who hosts a weekly open mic at McDonough's every Wednesday at 8 pm called "Chicken and Chuckles." Find him performing sporadically around town—and feel free to say hi if you see him in the wild!

Shaylyn Mackey ( | ): A Savannah-based comedy producer known for her whimsy, wit, and background in improv. Her productions include Big Chick Energy (an all-ladies stand-up show) and The Comedy Lounge, focusing heavily on crowd connection and real-time reactions.

🌡️Important Note: This event will take place in our garden, so please plan to dress for the weather! ⛅

There are still seats available, but they're going fast. Grab your tickets online now! 🎟️

Think you can spot B.S. when you hear it? Put your history knowledge to the test this Thursday🤣📚

The Davenport House Museum is bringing local comedians together to separate historical facts from straight-up fiction in a new event where the stories might be true or total B.S. 👀.

We're used to hearing about the latest happenings at the Davenport House from Executive Director Danielle Hodes, but today, she brought her husband and comedian J. Steinbrunner along for a preview of the event. Let's just say, history class has never sounded like this😂

A little bit of history, a lot of intention ✨

We had such a wonderful time at our latest Artisan Spotlight featuring Kelley Boyd of Ordinary Magic Savannah!

Participants gathered in the Preservation Center to learn the art and intention behind crafting their very own manifestation jars. From natural elements to sealed intentions, everyone took home a truly unique creation.
