Dual-Attraction Package Savings
Interactive Exhibits
2 Eras, 1 Address in City Market
Some of history’s best stories don’t play by the rules, and in Savannah, two of them live in the very same building.
Head upstairs to the American Prohibition Museum and step into the 1920s, where flappers rule the dance floor, gangsters run the town, and a hidden speakeasy still pours craft cocktails from century-old recipes. Then head downstairs to the Savannah Pirates and Treasure Museum, where the Golden Age of Piracy comes alive.
Both museums sit at 209 W. St. Julian Street in City Market, so there’s no driving, no distance, and no reason to choose just one. Money-saving Savannah packages let you bundle both with ease. Here’s how to experience the ultimate history double feature.
The Two Museums
America's Only Prohibition Museum
American Prohibition Museum
Travel back to when America banned alcohol and kicked off a decade of wild defiance. More than 20 interactive exhibits, lifelike wax figures, and more tell the story of bootleggers, moonshiners, flappers, and gangsters. Finish your trip with a visit to the hidden Congress Street Up speakeasy for authentic period craft cocktails.
- 20+ immersive exhibits, from Carry Nation to Al Capone.
- See the moonshine-runner roots of NASCAR alongside a real 1936 Ford V8.

Save Big With Savannah Packages
Because both museums share one building, the two-museum combo ticket is the easiest way to save — starting around $31.48. Other Savannah packages bundle both museums with speakeasy drinks or add Old Town Trolley passes so you can explore the rest of the Historic District. Best of all, tickets do not have to be used on the same day.
How to Do Both In One Visit
It couldn’t be simpler! The two museums are stacked in one building, so you just take the stairs between centuries!
- Start in the 1920s: Head up to the American Prohibition Museum, work your way through the exhibits, and toast the era with a craft cocktail in the Congress Street Up speakeasy.
- Sail the High Seas: Head downstairs to the Savannah Pirates and Treasure Museum for the Golden Age of Piracy, and drop anchor at the Pirates’ Tavern when your voyage is done.
You’re never more than a staircase away from your next adventure.
Location
Both museums share one address in the heart of City Market:
American Prohibition Museum:
209 W. St. Julian Street (Upper Level).
Savannah Pirates and Treasure Museum:
209 W. St. Julian Street (Lower Level – directly beneath the Prohibition Museum).
You’ll find them in the City Market courtyard closest to Ellis Square, between Wexford Irish Pub and Byrd’s Cookies. Located right at Old Town Trolley Stop 9, it is an easy walk from River Street and the historic squares.
Parking Note: Multiple public lots and garages serve the City Market area.
Deeper Dives into the History
Inside the American Prohibition Museum
When the 18th Amendment took effect in 1920, America went dry — on paper. In reality, an underground world of bootleggers, rumrunners, and speakeasies sprang up, and Savannah earned its nickname as “The Spigot of the South.”
America’s only Prohibition museum brings that world to life across more than 20 exhibits, talking about the temperance crusaders who started it all, hatchet-swinging Carry Nation, the moonshine runners who gave birth to NASCAR, real flapper dresses, and the gangsters who got rich on illegal hooch. When you’re done, slip into the Congress Street Up speakeasy for a cocktail poured from a pre-1930 recipe. Just tell ’em “Gus” sent ya.
Inside the Savannah Pirates and Treasure Museum
The Golden Age of Piracy was short, violent, and unforgettable, and this self-guided museum tells the real story behind the legend. Explore how pirates were mythologized in books and plays, how they actually fought and lived at sea, and how Spanish “pieces of eight” became the world’s first global currency.
Meet the era’s most notorious names, including Blackbeard, “Black Sam” Bellamy, Calico Jack, and the fearsome women who sailed alongside them, from Anne Bonny and Mary Read to Ireland’s Grace O’Malley and China’s Zheng Yi Sao. When your voyage ends, the Pirates’ Tavern is ready to pour.
Why Visit Both
Two rebellious eras, one convenient building, and something for everyone! History lovers get the deep, immersive storytelling of both museums. Families get hands-on fun with pirates and a fascinating time-machine trip to the Roaring Twenties.
With money-saving Savannah packages, seeing both is easier and cheaper than picking just one. Together, they offer two of the best-value attraction experiences in the Historic District.
