Abstract
The popularity of Savannah, Georgia as a tourist destination gives the historic homes in the city the ability to convey their history to many people and to influence the sphere of museum and interpretation practices. Historically, a singular narrative emphasizing the lives of the families and the architecture of the properties has been presented to the public. A demand for a more multi-narrative interpretation of sites that includes the stories of the enslaved has increased. Because of this demand, historic homes of Savannah are using differing interpretation methods to expand their narratives to include the stories of the enslaved. Studying the different methods of including enslaved narratives in historic homes in Savannah will create a better understanding of the complexity of best museum practices while implementing difficult histories.
