Savannah Attractions

Savannah, like Charleston and New Orleans and other Southern port towns, is forever linked to its past. Chatham County’s seat and largest city was established in 1733, built on agriculture and exports. English demand for indigo, cotton and other crops poured wealth into America’s first planned city, and its elaborate mansions, squares and cemeteries still provide evidence of that abundant money.
Forsyth Park; a tiered, cast-iron fountain is the focal point of this lovely 30-acre park. The fountain, purchased from France in 1851, was also featured in the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
Bonaventure Cemetery is a beautiful place to visit to view intricate funereal statues, including a famous one of a small girl who died at age six (included in many of the city’s ghost tours). Graves range from 1820 to the present.
City Market; the original City Market opened in 1755 as a fish, game, and produce market.

Today, this charming town center houses art galleries, specialty shops, restaurants, pubs, and cafes.
