The historic Club Stables, located on Stable Road, is now the home of the Jekyll Island Museum. This historic building was renovated by Weber Group, Inc.[2] and Main Street Design[3] in 2018, and re-opened spring of 2019.[4] The museum features more exhibit space, more artifacts, a new outdoor classroom, and a new multi-purpose room. Constructed completely within the current footprint of the historic stables building, the new design highlights the building’s construction with high, lofted ceilings and open space.[1][5]
The museum serves as a gateway for daily tours of Jekyll Island’s 90-acre (360,000 m2) National Historic Landmark District, including the restored Indian Mound Cottage, a 25-room mansion, and the historic remains of Horton House.[6] The Historic District includes the Jekyll Island Clubhouse (now the Jekyll Island Club Hotel, a fully functional and award-winning four-star historic hotel), 11 cottages, the historic wharf (now a seafood restaurant), the historic power plant (now the Georgia Sea Turtle Center), club-era employee housing and a shopping area consisting of numerous historic buildings once used during the club-era.[7]
