As with coastal cities throughout the United States in the 19th century, Savannah was the location of tragic yellow fever outbreaks.  In 1820 the city’s outbreak was widespread.  This October see a historical recreation of Savannah’s dreadful Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1820 with particular emphasis on the destination of the soul and medical techniques of the period.  A highlight is moving though the candlelit rooms witnessing enactments by costumed performers.  In an area seldom seen by visitors, the fate and experiences of the uncounted half to the city’s population, both free and enslaved Africans, are revealed. 

Not suitable for children under 12 years of age.

The performance requires that guests be able to walk up and down stairs and maneuver in the candlelit rooms.
