Exploring the savannah
Forsyth Park
These thirty acres of parkland have been a social center since the 1840's. Concerts, sports and sunbathing are just a few of the activities that keep this park alive with plant life and people. Check out the Saturday Farmer's Market.
Saint-Jean-Baptiste of Savannah Cathedral
Immigrants escaping from tumultuous times in Haiti and France established this palatial cathedral near the end of the 18th Century. Constructed immediately after the French Revolution, this is an oasis of calm where visitors still find spiritual solace.
Owens-Thomas House
Considered one of the finest examples of Regency style in America by leading architects, this elegant residence was built by Richard Richardson, who made his riches from his cotton and banking businesses. A National Historic Landmark, the museum boasts an impressive art collection and an English-inspired parterre garden.
Savannah Historical District
The old district in Savannah is filled with parks of old oak trees and Spanish moss pouring down the walls of its cobbled streets. Culturally speaking this is the town's heartland - no wonder it's also the largest National Historic Landmark District in the United States.
Telfair Museum
An exceptional museum where the curation really makes the exhibits sing, this is the place to discover the cultural and artistic delights of postwar America. Traveling exhibitions of the world's treasures and fascinating events for children and adults make the museum a popular attraction for travelers and locals alike. Special tours for younger visitors engage children with art through the senses.
