Afisha Life | Истражите пешачки обилазак историје Саване

1

Рајтов трг

Ваш обилазак почиње у центру северне стране трга Рајт испред споменика Гордону. Научићете како и зашто је Савана први пут основана и зашто је генерал Џејмс Оглторп одлучио да успостави колонију на блефу од 40 стопа. Такође ћете научити како су квадрати дизајнирани и зашто. Да ли сте знали да је лука Савана трећа највећа лука у држави? Открићете ко је био Томочичи, поглавица Индијанаца Јамакрау, и зашто је сахрањен испод Гордону споменика у центру трга.

2

Родно место Јулиетте Гордон Лов

Дивићете се месту рођења Џулијет Гордон Лоу, оснивача извиђача, рођене овде 31. октобра 1860. Открићете историју породице Гордон и за шта се она данас користи. *Не улазимо у дом, већ ћемо му се дивити споља.

Независна презбитеријанска црква

Независна презбитеријанска црква основана је 1755. на Елис скверу (првобитно Маркет Скуаре), али је уништена у пожару. Обнова на Тргу Телфер и уништена ураганом. Данас се налази на углу Бул Ст и Оглетхорпе Аве, где је изграђена 1855. Сазнаћете који председник САД се венчао у цркви 1885. и зашто је овај звоник данас тако познат.

4

Цхиппева Скуаре

Овде ћете видети где је Форест Гамп седео са својом кутијом чоколаде, док је чекао аутобус. Споменик у центру трга Чипева је генерал Џејмс Оглторп, а не капетан Морган. Слажемо се да он заиста личи на капетана Моргана, и било би прикладно пошто Савана дозвољава чаше које се могу однети. Овде ћете сазнати о човеку који стоји иза колоније Савана и шта представља његов споменик.

5

Музеј и обиласци куће Олд Соррел Веед Хоусе

Соррел Веед Хоусе је један од најуклетијих домова у Савани. Проћи ћемо да купимо кућу, и рећи ћемо вам о зиду од сиве цигле Саваннах који окружује двориште и сазнаћете зашто су отисци прстију у цигли. Одакле је дошла ова цигла?

6

Мадисон Скуаре

Тамо где се данас налази трг Медисон, некада је била локација једне од најкрвавијих битака током америчке револуције, опсаде Саване.

7

Греен-Мелдрим Хоусе

Завршена 1853. године, ова кућа је најбољи пример готичке архитектуре на југу. Ова кућа коштала је 93.000 долара, или 3,2 милиона долара данас, и била је најскупља кућа у Савани током 1800-их. Овај дом је ушао у историју као штаб генерала Шермана током његовог Марша на море, када је окупирао Савану.

8

СЦАДстори

Првобитно изграђена и коришћена као зграда добровољачке гарде Саване, сада је у власништву СЦАД-а. Пролазимо поред ове зграде.

9

Чајна соба Грифона

Грифонова чајна соба се налази унутар онога што зовемо Схринер'с Буилдинг. Унутар Грифонове чајне собе налази се музеј сам по себи, који се некада користио као Соломонова апотека, а још увек има оригиналне ормаре од махагонија и кофере за складиштење лекова. Чајна соба Грипхон је једна од наших омиљених за ручак, вечеру или опуштање уз шољицу чаја!

Музеј куће Мерсер Вилијамс

Кућа Мерцера Вилијамса, позната по књизи Поноћ у врту добра и зла, коју је написао Џон Берендт. Ово је истинита прича о Џиму Вилијамсу, који је купио кућу 1969. године, и пуцању на његовог помоћника Денија 1981. године. Књига је објављена 1993. и на листи најпродаванијих у Њујорку 216 недеља, дуже од било које књиге у историји. Неколико година касније, филм је објављен и помогао је да се Саваннах стави на мапу туризма. На крају крајева, свако с времена на време воли добар скандал. Препоручујемо да прочитате књигу или барем погледате филм пре посете Савани.

11

Армстронг Хоусе

Сада позната као кућа Армстронг-Кесслер, причаћемо о историји куће и ко данас живи у овој кући од 26.000+ квадратних стопа. Ово је једина кућа у граду у којој сви уздахну "ВОВ" и морају да застану да би се дивили. Ово је апсолутно величанствен дом и не треба га пропустити. Ово је данас приватна кућа и није отворена за обиласке.

12

Форситх Парк

Крунски драгуљ Саване, наша фонтана Форситх Парк. Оно што већина људи не схвата је да је ово била каталошка поруџбина из Француске и постављена 1858. Обавезно је видети и морате се сликати испред ове невероватне фонтане.

The Mercer Williams house, made famous by the book Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil, written by John Berendt. This is a true story of Jim Williams, who purchased the home in 1969, and the shooting of his assistant Danny 1981. The book was released in 1993, and on New York best seller list for 216 weeks, longer than any book in history. A few years later, the movie was released and helped put Savannah on the map of tourism. After-all, everyone loves a good scandal every once in a while. We recommend reading the book, or at least watching the movie prior to visiting Savannah.
