The historic Club Stables, located on Stable Road, is now the home of the Jekyll Island Museum. This history center houses a natural history and archeology exhibit, an history of Jekyll Island exhibit, an 8-minute narrated movie on the history of Jekyll Island, a museum store and a gateway for daily tours of Jekyll Island’s 90-acre (360,000 m2) National Historic Landmark District.
