This is an amazing museum detailing the history of WWII on the home front and how it affected the area of Brunswick and St. Simon's during World War II. It talks about the merchant ships being torpedoed by German U-Boats and how this area of the United States rallied and built Liberty Ships, and trained WWII radar technicians, aviators etc. It was a refreshing look at the war and how it affected normal citizens. It is situated in the old Coast Guard station

St. Simons Lighthouse Museum

Reviewed By RebeccaL50 - Atlanta, United States

No trip to St. Simon's Island is complete without seeing the lighthouse. However, this was our first time to tour the inside. With a combo ticket, we purchased at the WWII Home Front museum, we spent about 45 minutes here. After watching a short film, we climbed the 129 steps to the top of the lighthouse. Imagine doing that while carrying 5 gallons of fuel each night! At the top, you can walk on the small balcony outside to get panoramic views of the island. Back downstairs, we walked through the exhibits at the lighthouse keeper's house which showed us how the lighthouse keeper's family would have lived, as well as the challenges they faced.

Moore Methodist Museum, located on the grounds of Epworth By The Sea on St. Simons Island, Georgia, is named for Bishop Moore who was instrumental in bringing his dream of a Methodist retreat and conference center into existence.

There are more than 20,000 visitors to the Moore Museum each year including over 3,500 confirmands, campers, youth and adult groups, and people like you. Plan to visit us soon!

The Arthur J. Moore Methodist Museum on the grounds of Epworth By the Sea is a Georgia treasure. Not only is admission free, the collection is historical and interesting. Anyone who appreciates history will enjoy a visit - especially a person of Faith. Of course, there is the expected information on the Wesley brothers but this museum goes much deeper and has interesting collections. I enjoyed looking at the international items from mission trips and the early 20th Century revival items. I strongly encourage a walk through if you are in St. Simons and especially if you are on property at Epworth.
