Almost three centuries of history.

 

Take a journey back more than 275 years when you travel to Savannah’s Landmark Historic District. From the moment you enter one of the 22 shady public squares designed by General James Oglethorpe, to the instant you glimpse the Forsyth Fountain, you’ll know why it’s still one of the largest historic landmarks in the country.

Tour some of Savannah’s oldest mansions such as the Owens-Thomas House and the Mercer House, made famous by the novel “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.” Experience Civil War life firsthand at Old Fort Jackson and Fort Pulaski, and witness the daily cannon firing demonstrations that take place each summer.

Visit the historic Roundhouse Railroad Museum and conduct your way through the seven different railroad structures dating all the way back to the 1830’s. Attend a worship service at the home of the oldest African-American congregation in America, First African Baptist, which once served as a stop on the Underground Railroad.

Make your own history in Savannah.
