Coastal Georgia Historical Society invites history lovers of all ages to the beautiful Golden Isles for a special Semiquincentennial experience: Revolution on the Coast: A 250th Celebration March 9-15, 2026.

The main event is the First Oval Office Project of the Museum of the American Revolution, which will bring a replica of George Washington’s Revolutionary War tent—the mobile command center of the Continental Army—to St. Simons Island. The project also includes other tents like common soldiers’ tents and a dining tent, as well as costumed interpreters, that will reveal the experiences of those who served and sacrificed during the war. General George Washington’s original sleeping and office tent from the Revolutionary War is on permanent display at the Museum of the American Revolution in historic Philadelphia.

In addition, CGHS will provide complementary experiential programming during the weekend, such as silhouette drawing, quill writing, tricorn hat making, archaeology digs, and more. This will be the first time this special program has visited the state of Georgia, providing a wonderful opportunity to engage with the deeply significant and perennially relevant history of the American Revolution.

While week-day programming is priced per program, the First Oval Office weekend event is free. Registration and Check In is required.
