The Ponce de Leon Inlet Light Station, built in 1887, is the second tallest masonry lighthouse in the United States and the tallest lighthouse of any kind in Florida.

The Society operates both the St. Simons Lighthouse and the Maritime Center. The Lighthouse was built in 1872 and today presents and interprets the history and culture of coastal Georgia. The Maritime Center at the Historic Coast Guard Station researches, collects, and preserves artifacts, and other memorabilia and interprets events and information pertaining to the maritime history and marine ecology of the Georgia coast—such as the history of the U.S. Coast Guard Station, the evolution of Georgia's chain of barrier islands, and the Georgia marshland ecosystem—and to present related exhibitions, promotional activities, and educational programs of interest to the general public.

The society offers educational programs and occasional recreational and educational events; the center and lighthouse offer exhibits and tours.

The Sam Rayburn House Museum consists of a 12-room house, built in 1916 as the residence of politician Sam Rayburn's parents, brother, and sister. At the time, Rayburn (1882-1961) was in his second of 24 terms in the U.S. House of Representatives; and he visited the house and surrounding farm frequently. The house and its contents reflect their appearance in 1961, the time of Rayburn's death.

The Philip Johnson Glass House aims for the 47-acre campus to become a center-point for the preservation of modern architecture, landscape, and art, as well as a canvas for inspiration, experimentation and cultivation honoring the legacy of Philip Johnson (1906–2005) and David Whitney (1939–2005). Philip Johnson was a recognized modernist architect, having been an associate of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the recipient of the first Pritzker Architecture Prize, and the founder of MoMA's Department of Architecture and Design. David Whitney was a curator, collector, passionate advocate of contemporary art, and Johnson's life partner. The Glass House, designed 1945–1947 and completed 1949, grew from the inspirational legacy of the German Glasarchitektur drawings of the 1920s. With walls made of glass, permitting the exterior view to inundate the interior, the house speaks to minimalism, geometry, proportion, reflectivity, and opacity versus transparency. The site includes numerous other structures designed by Johnson, including painting and sculpture studios, a lake pavilion, and the so-called brick house.

The site offers tours and an informative media installation.
