The Mercer Williams House is a beautiful historic home that has long been one of the crowning jewels of Savannah’s historic architecture. It was built in 1868 and is rumored to be haunted after several deaths happened on the property.

The most famous death is the murder of Danny Hansford in 1981. The murder became the topic of the popular novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and made the home somewhat notorious. The home’s owner at the time was tried four separate times before eventually being acquitted of the murder.

You can take tours of this historic and possibly haunted home daily. Whether you are interested in its historic architecture or its spooky past, the Mercer Williams House is absolutely worth a stop on your Savannah itinerary. It is truly one of the best Museums In Savannah!
