Sam Davis Museum in Pulaski has re-opened with new hours.

Under the newly established schedule, the museum will be open on the third Sunday of each month from 1 until 4 p.m. unless that Sunday falls on a holiday. Additional openings and tours may be scheduled by calling the Giles County Historical Society at 363-2720 or the Giles County Chamber at 363-3789.

The memorial museum is an elegant little structure of white marble with four Gothic columns. Construction of the building had been planned when the lot was purchased in 1941 but World War II delayed it. A gray marble stone had lain for many years on the spot where Davis was executed, this stone was placed by the local camp of the Confederate Veterans.

Owned by the state, the museum is entrusted to the care of the Giles County Historical Society.

“We are pleased to announce the reopening of the Sam Davis Memorial State Historic Site,” said GCHS member John Lancaster.

The museum has been closed for several months due to the replacement of an HVAC system, fumigation, painting and cleaning.
