I have go to say the only other review is just plain mean spirited. They were obviously having a…read moreproblem, but to summarily dis a charitable organization because one was inconvenienced or treated poorly by staff is not acceptable. We have no idea what was going on with the person who treated them poorly or what the organization was going through. I would suggest giving Bluffton Self Help a call to get the full story and not rely of someone's assumption.

We WERE consistent donors to BLUFFTON SELF HELP for many years but lately it's been increasingly…read morefrustrating. Today was the last straw. The sign out front clearly stated donations were accepted from 10a to 4p. I came straight from Krogers with 2 full bags of canned meat products at 3:15. Self Help refused to answer the back door where donations are accepted. I drove to the front, found 2 young men loading a client's vehicle and suggested someone check the back doorbell since there had been no response when I rang twice. They informed me rudely they were NOT ACCEPTING DONATIONS PERIOD. I have concluded that despite numerous appeals in my community to "fill the pantry" that this food bank is NOT IN NEED therefore any donations will simply be sent to the pig farmer who collects their discards. DO NOT DONATE TO BLUFFTON SELF HELP.

The Georgia Historical Society is housed in Hodgson Hall, the headquarters and main library of the…read moreSociety and this building was designed by architect Detlef Lienau, being built in 1876. The Society itself was incorporated in 1839 and now holds the world's largest collection of materials germane to Georgia history. Hodgson Hall is a delightful building with a commodius interior and fine iron-work on the exterior, making a visit feel like a trip to a grand library at one of the world's great universities. Architect Lienau, though German-born, was one of the founders of the American Institute of Architects and though not as well-known as some of America's nineteenth-century architects, did some very innovative work including this building and it is fitting that the Historical Society is housed in a building of such note and merit. The collection itself is not only large but varied and while a lot of it understandably concerns the colonial and Civil War periods of Savannah's lengthy history, it also has interesting architectural and social content regarding the modern and contemporary history of the city and region. The Society also conducts frequent talks and events including special programs for schoolkids, partnerships with local colleges, and other efforts at outreach.

It's a beautiful, historic building, older than the whole city of Seattle (hey, Seattle is where I…read morelive, I can't avoid comparisons) (and yes, nearly all of the buildings in downtown Savannah are beatiful, old and historic, bear with me), and one of the perks of majoring in history at Armstrong in Savannah is that eventually you'll be admitted to the innermost sanctum of the Historical Society (after getting a membership, of course). You won't be able to do your Methodology paper without access to the boxes kept in a climate controlled environment that you have to sign for and can't leave the building with, but it's worth it to leaf through the 90 year old Grand Tour diary of the 10 year old son of a doctor who was one of the earliest users of the X-Ray. I think he died of radiation poisoning. Imagine that. It's a cool and quiet library with big wood tables, little lamps and a gallery running around the room. Just what you'd picture. The people working there are cool, quiet, smart and helpful, and if you appreciate libraries, history, books, and/or architecture, you should visit.
