New Jekyll Island museum

Along with its pristine beaches and fun outdoor activities,
Jekyll Island now has a new attraction. Mosaic, the Jekyll Island
Museum, opened last month, beckoning visitors to take a historical
adventure through thousands of years of the island’s history. Beginning with
the Native American era and continuing to post-World War II, Mosaic’s displays
and artifacts tell compelling stories and allow visitors to get an up-close
view of everything from a Native American dugout canoe made from Jekyll pine to
a restored 1947 Studebaker.

Even the building housing the museum is historic – 122 years
ago it was a stable for workhorses. But, after a $3.1-million renovation it
functions as a modern museum while preserving its original architectural
character.

Mosaic, the Jekyll Island Museum, is open daily from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. and admission is under $10. Find out why Moneymagazine rated the barrier island No. 1 in its 20 Best Places to Go in 2019 and enjoy
the museum while you’re there.
