What a beautiful city! It has so much going for it besides being the largest National Historic Landmark District in the USA. My favorite icons of its unique history are the 24 squares in the downtown district. Peaceful places in the midst of a modern bustling city remind us of important people and events in Savannah's history. Former presidents, native Americans, soldiers, a city in Mexico - are remembered and honored here. |

Christ
Episcopal Church was the first church built in Savannah. Originally
founded in 1733, this is not the original building, but was built
on the original foundation after the first two buildings were destroyed
- one by fire and the other by hurricane.

Besides
gorgeous pink azaleas in March, Wright Square contains a memorial
to William Gordon for establishing Central Railroad Banking Company.

Stop
and savor azaleas by shady park benches. My feet were killing me
by now but it's hard to want to quit walking around when greeted
by such sights.

Not
far from River Street, don't miss a stroll or drive down Oglethorpe
Drive, named for James Edward Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia
and the guy who laid out Savannah in its unique and distinctive
design. The avenue is rimmed by huge oaks dripping with Spanish
moss and alive with azaleas in March.
