Journey back in time to the Gilded Age.

Jekyll Island Club boasts a rich history around every corner of the resort’s sprawling grounds and carries on into the adjacent, charming Historic District. Take a self-guided tour around the historic cottages, hop aboard a tram, trolley, or horse-drawn carriage for guided tours, explore the island’s many historic sites, or view rotating art exhibits to take in the stories of Jekyll Island in a medium that best suits you.

The Jekyll Island Club is rich with history from the conception of the Federal Reserve to the filming of iconic movies. We invite you to join a hotel history tour led by history aficionado concierge, Sherri Zacher. The tour leaves from Palm Court, the front desk at the Jekyll Island Club, and explores the original main Clubhouse building. Hear stories about the millionaire members of 1800’s, the restoration period of the 1980’s, and our more current history.

Nifty combo of museum (small'ish but interactive), gift shop (eclectic and generally high'ish prices tho a few bargain gems), history and information and opportunity to participate in a mosaic window replica, and start and end of the tram tour. Folks on the gift shop are friendly. The "name me" life size horse statue has a whole lot to say and snort -- which could be annoying but I found it totally nifty and amusing and endearing. Fee for the museum & tram combo. I use a wheelchair. Tram not accessible. Was not allowed to pay a partial fee to explore the museum. That was/is a shame and unfortunate reflection on this otherwise fun experience.

Tiny museum but it puts out a well layout of how Jekyll island came to be and it's rich history. For visitors coming in for the first time, it should be a good starting point . Also don't miss out on the trolley tour from here. Trolley tour was around 40 minutes

See all photos from Sam Jacob D. for Mosaic, Jekyll Island Museum

I was staying on the island for a couple of days with my mother, and we visited a bunch of different parts of the island. One of the new pieces of the island that we had never seen before was the Mosaic Museum. The museum primarily acts as a base station for the trolley tours that meander through the Jekyll Island Club Resort, but there is a small museum with artifacts from the Golden Age of the club, as well as a small gift shop. My mother and I did not go on the trolley tour, as we have been to the island many times before and walked all over the same parts that the trolley goes through, but it was interesting to see some of the bits that the museum has to offer.

Great little museum with artifacts and information on the history of Jekyll Island. I would splurge for the trolley ride tour ($20pp) but it gives you admission to the museum and the chapel across the street. So a better bang for your buck. The museum itself is small, I would say the size of two standard bedrooms, but full of interesting things.

Great gallery that hits first explorers all the way to civil rights, with everything in between. Highly recommend the landmark trolly tour. I wish I could recall the tour guides name, he was wonderful! I'm sure he repeat the same information multiple times a day, but it didn't feel like he was on auto pilot or simply sharing facts. He shared the history like a story, with so many great details that kept it very interesting and engaging. Highly Recommend!!

• Mosaic’s 4th Anniversary
• For The Record

This sandcastle is the centerpiece of one of Mosaic’s temporary exhibits, celebrating the 75th anniversary of Jekyll Island State Park.

Construction recently began on “The Paddock,” Mosaic’s outdoor education space.

View renderings of the completed “Paddock” by visiting Mosaic Initiative.

by Allison Dupuis, JIA Museum Educator

This April, Mosaic, Jekyll Island Museum, celebrates its fourth anniversary. Thousands of visitors have walked through the museum’s big red doors to experience Jekyll Island’s history. And what a rich history it is! In the museum gallery, visitors can listen to accounts of Wanderer survivors or a recording of the first transcontinental phone call, spearheaded by Jekyll Island Club member and AT&T president Theodore Vail in 1915. They can virtually “try on” outfits from the Gilded Age, explore an eagle’s nest, or take a spin around the island on a Red Bug. The museum’s lobby entrance, which features rotating exhibits, is preparing for its next exhibit launch in April as well. The gift shop pays homage to the building’s historical roots—it features some of the original structure that made this building the former Jekyll Island Club stables, complete with hay loft and a single (facsimile) horse.

Mosaic has certainly grown and remained dynamic since its opening day in 2019. Visitation numbers have grown, especially since the museum reopened after temporary closures due to the pandemic. In fact, at the end of the 2022 fiscal year, Mosaic’s annual visitation exceeded 50,000 people! Visitors take part in the museum’s trolley tours of the Jekyll Island Club National Historic Landmark district, which run four times daily. They also come to the museum for special historic tours and programs, which have continued to grow over the past two calendar years. These programs have taken guests all over the island, from St. Andrews Beach for a Dolphin Club Days tour to the Horton House for Pistols and Privateers. In the near future, Mosaic will begin to host a slate of new and exciting programs. Guests can enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at Mistletoe Cottage with April’s Cottage Spotlight, or can step back in time with Jekyll Island Club visitor Jean Struthers as part of the museum’s ongoing Living History Presents program.

There are exciting physical additions at Mosaic, too! Work has recently begun in earnest on the exterior paddock,” Mosaic’s outdoor education space. The paddock will host annual and seasonal programming and events. Work on the space is expected to be completed in mid-April, and the museum looks forward to utilizing this space to its fullest potential. To learn more or give to  this new addition, visit Mosaic Initiative. Make sure to keep up with all things Jekyll Island history by visiting Mosaic’s website.

• Shari F 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Don't Believe Them The same thing happened to us as with Daniel S (Aug 2022 review). They took our $400 deposit and when Covid hit and our cruise was cancelled they were the only ones who did not provide a refund. They said the same thing "we used the money for other tours". Instead of holding the deposit in escrow they were robbing Peter to pay Paul. They claim we can use it for a future tour so we can't get a reimbursement from travel insurance.

• L9558EXdaniels 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Don’t believe their terms and conditions They basically stole our money. Paid in advance for a tour in September 2020 that had terms and conditions stating that if the cruise didn’t run they would give us a full refund. I spent well over a year asking for that refund only to have them declare they had spent our money on other tours and couldn’t refund us. Then they made it difficult to claim the money on our insurance by refusing to state they were never giving our money back. Avoid at all costs! Read more Written August 10, 2022

She is mind of information and very knowledgeable about the history of St Petersburg and spoke perfect English.

She was a wonderful guide: friendly, cheerful and hugely knowledgable. She collected us promptly at our hotel and we spent a full day discovering the key sights of the city – a perfect introduction that we could never have managed alone. She told us a huge amount about the city, its history and its place in the wider story of Russia. The tour was built around us and what we wanted to do, and Marina and the excellent driver helped make sure we got back a little early as we were heading out for the evening. A magical day!

• EmilyRoseLa 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles 5 stars for the guide! Our guide was wonderful, knowledgeable, and very sweet. She knew so much about the imperialists and could answer our questions as well as give us a summary of what we were seeing, how it fit into history and the timeline of the royals, and lots of interesting, funny anecdotes! This company however is unorganized. They gave us a meeting point and then gave our guide another meeting point, so we were both waiting on opposite sides of the river at the appointed time and we lost about a half hour of the tour while getting things sorted. I tried calling the number (we had a Russian SIM card and everything) but there was no answer. We ended up finding another tour guide from ULKO Tours who was with a different group and asking him to call a contact person. In the end it sounds like there was some internal misunderstandings due to a change in employees, but that didn't give us our half hour back. Again, the tour guide herself was wonderful and if this company has sorted its issues, I would highly recommend it! Read more Written December 10, 2019
• boogiecat 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Very touristy - appalling behavior from large tour group The performers are undeniably talented but this is definitely an experience geared toward foreign tourists. There was a very large tour group from another country at the show and some of those individuals were openly arguing during the performance in their native language which ruined some of it. There was also some dreadful behavior during the break for snacks with people leaving used glasses and half-eaten food on the tables where the food was being served from which was terribly unsanitary. I don't blame the folk show for the bad behavior but Americans or Western Europeans beware. Other reviews had hinted at the problems with the large tour groups and I didn't realize how bad it would be. The Russian performers deserve 5 stars -- excellent, so talented. The foreign tourists visiting Russia - 0 stars for appalling behavior. Read more Written November 14, 2019

• tustinfarm 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles St. Petersburg Day Tour Natalya (tour guide) met my wife and I on board our ship at 9:30 am and directed us to a comfortable, four-door sedan driven by Sergei. We visited the St. Peter and Paul Cathedral and the Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood in the morning and then had a delightful lunch with Natalya and Sergei at the Vodka Room No. 1 restaurant. In the afternoon, we visited the Russian Ethnographic Museum and the Faberge Museum. Natalya personally guided us to and through the churches and museums and was very informative. We the enjoyed the friendliness of both Natalya and Sergei and their willingness to answer all of our questions about daily life in Russia. We returned safely to our ship by 5:30 pm. Our day tour of St. Petersburg was one we will fondly remember! Read more Written October 22, 2019

• barb m 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles AMAZING Our guide Elena, was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a more informative, pleasant, helpful guide. We would most certainly recommend ULKO Tours to anyone thinking of visiting St. Petersburg on a cruise. We saw so much and enjoyed the Russian meals that were added to our tour and all at a much better price than through the cruise line. Thank you for sharing your city with us.

• BKE9 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Choose your own adventure! With your ideas and this company’s expertise, this will be the best tour you’ve ever taken!!(Especially if you have Julia as your guide and Artem as your driver) This company impressed us long before the tour. Anton in the office answered my countless questions via email beforehand. They also make sure they have all the paperwork in place for you. We had an overview of the city our first day in St. Petersburg(different company) and wanted to focus on every day living for our choice day. Our list included the subway, a grocery store, schools and getting outside of the city. What made Julia different from other guides we’ve had is that she tried to get to know us so she could accommodate our wishes. We had a few gaps and she was able to fill them perfectly. Better yet, she also let us get to know her. Julia is a wealth of information but we didn’t feel like we’ve been to a college lecture. She allowed for questions and conversation along the way. The other thing we appreciated was that our guide and driver were in sync. We had been with tours where the guide and driver didn’t agree on the route to be taken and it was very uncomfortable. Artem was an excellent driver. Rush hour traffic, bathroom stop...? No problem! When it was all over, my sister said to me “I like Julia so much I’d love to have her come visit and stay with me in the US.” I felt the same way. We left feeling we had a friend in St. Petersburg.

• Departure65727247107 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Excelleur with ULKO and Lisa Our experience with ULKO tours in Russia was our second tour with ULKO. We booked through Viator in Berlin and it was an ULKO tour as well. We were extremely pleased with both tours. Small groups and excellent tour guides. Our 2-day St Petersburg Russia tour with guide Lisa was so very educational and her knowledge very advanced. The sites were well timed and the 2 Russian lunches were authentic and very good. Our experience left us with a very good overview of St Petersburg and Russia's history. We were on NCL Getaway and we watched large NCL excursions loading buses while 14 of us took our ULKO tour. Processing through Customs was smooth with our ULKO trip vouchers. We highly recommend using ULKO for your Baltic excursions. Berlin/Sachsenhausen was also of very high quality. There isn't much time to stop for any local souvenir shopping so plan on your tour being mostly busy and site filled. Read more Written October 14, 2019
