1

Savannah Historic District

We explore the oldest, and most architecturally significant areas of Georgia's first city and America's first planned city.

2

Johnson Square

The city's largest square, often called Bank Square by locals, is where the colony was first organized in 1733 and became central to its culture and commerce as it still does today. Home to City Hall, the burials of Washington's 2nd in Command, Nathanael Greene, his son George Washington Greene, The Church of England and much more.

3

Savannah City Hall

Erected in 1906, the former site of the 1799 City Exchange is where city government flows from today with its 22-carat gold dome.

4

Wright Square

One of Savannah's most charming of city squares and one of the original 4 squares laid out during Oglethorpe's founding period. Originally home to the first burying ground, courthouse, jail and eventual burial site of the Indian King, Tomochichi. Few squares have as much history.

5

Juliette Gordon Low's Birthplace

While this is a touring home business and we do not enter it, we do spend quality time at this location. This 1820 home built by prodigy architect, William Jay, first housed a U.S. Supreme Court Judge, but would become central to the grand family of The Gordons, daughter Juliette Low, arguably the most famous for her Girl Scouts of The USA. This family however is a great American tale of immigrants who became pioneers who became industrialists and military and the women's history level with Juliette Low in the mix, a dynamic family story of The American Dream realized.

6

Independent Presbyterian Church

With its towering 119ft cast iron steeple as the highest point in the city, this 1819 architectural wonder built by John Holden Greene is one of the religious epicenters of Savannah, particularly its Scottish heritage. Woodrow Wilson married in the courtyard.

7

Chippewa Square

Yet another city masterpiece with both Colonial & Victorian rowhouses, churches, inns, pubs, coffeehouses Savannah Theater and monument of Georgia's Founder, Oglethorpe done by Lincoln Memorial sculptor, Daniel Chester French.

8

Madison Square

With every square, is a new wonder on the eyes, mind and spirit. Madison Square with its wonderful book seller, two tea houses and 2 of the finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture and Greek Revival in America with other monuments, its a square you'll get lost in and we'll help you! The Savannah College of Art & Design, America's largest private art school, was founded here in 1976 inside of The Chatham Artillery.

9

The Old Sorrel Weed House Museum & Tours

While this is a touring home business and we do not enter it, we do spend quality time at this location. An early Cotton Boom masterpiece and often called The Finest Example of Greek Revival Architecture in America, this touring home has become a modern paranormal phenomenon if because in part, our company's founder, Shannon Scott, was the producer on the Ghost Hunter's episode that made it such a successful attraction! We discuss The Sorrel & Weed families who were empire level agrarian names of The Victorian Age.

10

E Shaver Bookseller

This classic English appearing bookseller and teahouse is one of the most popular stores in the entire city and connected to The Eliza Jewett Home who was one of Savannah's empire women.

11

Green-Meldrim House

While this is a touring home business and we do not enter it, we do spend quality time at this location. This 1853 Gothic Revival Home was built complete with gas powered jet air conditioning by New York architect, Robert Norris. Some credit owner, Charles Green with saving Savannah from Sherman's wrath by offering him his personal house to serve as his resident headquarters for the 8 weeks that General Sherman occupied the city.Visited by Harper's Weekly in December of 1865 where they illustrated Sherman and his Generals' roundtable style, where Sherman sent President Lincoln our fair city as a Christmas gift.

12

Gryphon Tea Room

Inside this massive Roman-styled Scottish Rite Masonic Temple, now owned by The Savannah College of Art & Design, is a tea room that has shared few rivals as far as Victorian authenticity and delicious fare. True Savannahians remember it as Solomon's Drugstore where most of the original interior is derived. Place of sheer beauty!

13

Monterey Square

Among locals, and tourists, Monterey Square usually takes the prize as the city's most beautiful, serene and European. Home to towering rowhouses, some Barbados style, this is where Poland's greatest hero, Count Casimir Pulaski was laid to rest in 1779, where Jeff Davis hid out during The Civil War, and where famous preservation names like Lee & Emma Adler resided until their recent deaths. No tour would be complete without The Mercer House famed to Midnight In The Garden of Good & Evil. Also stopping by The Temple Mickve Israel

14

Pulaski Monument

To put it simply, there is no finer monument in Savannah, and to the people of Poland, no greater hero. Designed and installed by the Latvian sculptor, R.E. Launitz, and where much controversy occurred when an international debate arose as to who's remains were under the monument and were they actually Pulaski's? The debate will shock you as will the prevailing mystery!

15

Congregation Mickve Israel

While there is a paid-to museum here, we do not patron interior but spend quality time at the location outside. It shocks and amazes when you tell people that there's a Jewish community this old, and this far South. Savannah claims America's 3rd oldest and to make it extra interesting, the most antique congregation of them attends Temple inside of a Christian styled building. The Temple Mickve holds the oldest Torah in the world at over 1100 years of age and we share with our guests, the most unconventional wisdom about why this all occurred but far closer to the real story than simply the parable!

16

Alex Raskin Antiques

For over 30 years, notable Savannah character, Alex Raskin, sold some of the city's most amazing antiques out of the opulent and towering Colonel Hardee Mansion with its stunning cast iron window lintels and wrap-around, decorative balcony along with one of the few surviving grand cupolas. Sold recently to The Ralson College for over 5 million dollars.

17

Armstrong House

This recently restored 1917 mansion, complete with sweeping lion's paw colonnade, is now the private home of hotelier, native Savannahian, Richard Kessler, who founded The Day's Inn company in 1980. Originally the private home of shipping great, George Armstrong, his widow later donating it to the school. It was sold to Jim Williams who lived there prior to moving into The Mercer House. Also featured in the 1962 film, Cape Fear starring Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck.

18

Исторический район Саванны

Мы исследуем самые старые и наиболее важные с архитектурной точки зрения районы первого города Джорджии и первого запланированного города Америки.

19

Джонсон-сквер

На самой большой площади города, которую местные жители часто называют Банковской площадью, колония была впервые организована в 1733 году и стала центральной для ее культуры и торговли, как и сегодня. Дом мэрии, захоронения 2-го командования Вашингтона, Натанаэля Грина, его сына Джорджа Вашингтона Грина, англиканской церкви и многого другого.

20

Мэрия Саванны

Построенный в 1906 году, на месте бывшей городской биржи 1799 года сегодня находится городское правительство с куполом из 22-каратного золота.

21

Райт-сквер

Одна из самых очаровательных городских площадей Саванны и одна из первых 4 площадей, заложенных в период основания Оглторпа. Первоначально здесь располагалось первое кладбище, здание суда, тюрьма и, возможно, место захоронения индийского короля Томочичи. Немногие площади имеют столько истории.

22

Место рождения Джульетты Гордон Лоу

Хотя это гастрольный домашний бизнес, и мы не входим в него, мы проводим время в этом месте. В этом доме 1820 года, построенном вундеркиндом архитектором Уильямом Джеем, сначала жил судья Верховного суда США, но он стал центральным для большой семьи Гордонов, дочери Джульетты Лоу, возможно, самой известной благодаря своим девочкам-скаутам США. Эта семья, однако, представляет собой великую американскую историю об иммигрантах, которые стали первопроходцами, промышленниками и военными, а также уровень женской истории с Джульеттой Лоу в смеси, динамичная семейная история воплощения американской мечты.

23

Независимая пресвитерианская церковь

Это архитектурное чудо 1819 года, построенное Джоном Холденом Грином, с его возвышающимся 119-футовым чугунным шпилем, являющимся самой высокой точкой города, является одним из религиозных эпицентров Саванны, особенно ее шотландского наследия. Вудро Вильсон женился во дворе.

24

Площадь Чиппева

Еще один городской шедевр с колониальными и викторианскими домами, церквями, гостиницами, пабами, кофейнями Театр Саванны и памятник основателю Джорджии Оглторпу, созданный скульптором Мемориала Линкольна Дэниелом Честером Френчем.

25

Мэдисон Сквер

С каждым квадратом возникает новое чудо для глаз, ума и духа. Мэдисон-сквер с ее замечательным продавцом книг, двумя чайными домами и двумя лучшими образцами архитектуры готического возрождения и греческого возрождения в Америке с другими памятниками, на этой площади вы заблудитесь, и мы поможем вам! Колледж искусства и дизайна Саванны, крупнейшая частная художественная школа Америки, был основан здесь в 1976 году на территории Чатемской артиллерии.

26

Дом-музей и экскурсии Old Sorrel Weed House

Хотя это гастрольный домашний бизнес, и мы не входим в него, мы проводим время в этом месте. Шедевр раннего хлопкового бума, который часто называют лучшим образцом архитектуры греческого возрождения в Америке, этот передвижной дом стал современным паранормальным явлением хотя бы потому, что отчасти основатель нашей компании, Шеннон Скотт, был продюсером эпизода «Охотника за привидениями», который сделал его такой удачный аттракцион! Мы обсуждаем семьи Соррел и Виид, которые были аграрными именами на уровне империи викторианской эпохи.

27

Книготорговец E Shaver

Этот классический английский книжный магазин и чайная является одним из самых популярных магазинов во всем городе и связан с домом Элизы Джуэтт, которая была одной из имперских женщин Саванны.

28

Дом Грин-Мелдрим

Хотя это гастрольный домашний бизнес, и мы не входим в него, мы проводим время в этом месте. Этот дом 1853 года в стиле готического возрождения был построен нью-йоркским архитектором Робертом Норрисом с системой кондиционирования воздуха на газовом топливе. Какой-то владелец кредита, Чарльз Грин, спас Саванну от гнева Шермана, предложив ему свой личный дом, который служил бы его резиденцией в течение 8 недель, пока генерал Шерман оккупировал город. В декабре 1865 года посетил Harper's Weekly, где они иллюстрировали Шермана и его генералов ' в стиле круглого стола, где Шерман послал президенту Линкольну наш прекрасный город в качестве рождественского подарка.

29

Чайная комната Грифона

Внутри этого массивного масонского храма шотландского обряда в римском стиле, ныне принадлежащего Саваннскому колледжу искусств и дизайна, находится чайная комната, которая не имеет себе равных в плане викторианской аутентичности и вкусных блюд. Истинные жители Саванны помнят его как Аптеку Соломона, где сохранилась большая часть оригинального интерьера. Место чистой красоты!

30

Монтерей-сквер

Среди местных жителей и туристов площадь Монтерей обычно считается самой красивой, безмятежной и европейской. Дом с высокими домами в барбадосском стиле. Именно здесь в 1779 году был похоронен величайший герой Польши, граф Казимир Пуласки, где Джефф Дэвис прятался во время Гражданской войны и где до недавнего времени проживали такие знаменитости, как Ли и Эмма Адлер. летальные исходы. Ни один тур не был бы полным без The Mercer House, известного как «Полночь в саду добра и зла». Также зайдите в The Temple Mickve Israel

31

Памятник Пуласки

Проще говоря, в Саванне нет более прекрасного памятника, а для жителей Польши нет более великого героя. Спроектирован и установлен латвийским скульптором Р.Э. Лауница, и где возникло много противоречий, когда возникла международная дискуссия о том, чьи останки находятся под памятником и действительно ли они принадлежат Пуласки? Дебаты шокируют вас, как и царящая тайна!

32

Конгрегация Микве Исраэль

Хотя здесь есть платный музей, мы не посещаем интерьер, а проводим время на улице. Это шокирует и изумляет, когда вы говорите людям, что существует такая старая еврейская община, которая находится так далеко на юге. Саванна претендует на 3-е место по старшинству в Америке, и, чтобы сделать ее еще более интересной, самая старая община из них посещает Храм в здании в христианском стиле. В Храме Микве хранится самая старая Тора в мире, которой более 1100 лет, и мы делимся с нашими гостями самой нетрадиционной мудростью о том, почему все это произошло, но гораздо ближе к реальной истории, чем просто притча!

33

Алекс Раскин Антиквариат

На протяжении более 30 лет известный персонаж Саванны, Алекс Раскин, продавал некоторые из самых удивительных предметов антиквариата в городе из роскошного и возвышающегося особняка полковника Харди с его потрясающими чугунными оконными перемычками и круглым декоративным балконом, а также одним из немногих сохранившихся величественные купола. Недавно продан The Ralson College более чем за 5 миллионов долларов.

34

Дом Армстронга

Этот недавно отреставрированный особняк 1917 года с широкой колоннадой в виде львиной лапы теперь является частным домом хозяина отеля, уроженца Саванны, Ричарда Кесслера, который основал компанию The Day's Inn в 1980 году. пожертвовать его школе. Он был продан Джиму Уильямсу, который жил там до переезда в The Mercer House. Также фигурирует в фильме 1962 года « Мыс страха» с Робертом Митчемом и Грегори Пеком в главных ролях.

While there is a paid-to museum here, we do not patron interior but spend quality time at the location outside. It shocks and amazes when you tell people that there's a Jewish community this old, and this far South. Savannah claims America's 3rd oldest and to make it extra interesting, the most antique congregation of them attends Temple inside of a Christian styled building. The Temple Mickve holds the oldest Torah in the world at over 1100 years of age and we share with our guests, the most unconventional wisdom about why this all occurred but far closer to the real story than simply the parable!
