History of Savannah Walking Tour

Despre activitate

The History of Savannah Walking Tour is led by local guide Sarah Johnson and is intentionally designed as a small-group experience, giving guests a more personal and engaging way to explore Savannah’s Historic District. Rather than rushing from stop to stop, Sarah takes time to explain how Savannah’s unique city plan, historic squares, architecture, and landmarks shaped the city from its founding in 1733 onward.

With smaller groups, guests can comfortably hear, ask questions, and interact throughout the tour. The relaxed 90-minute experience covers approximately 1.5 miles, with frequent shaded stops along the way. It’s ideal for visitors who want meaningful history and storytelling without feeling hurried.

It’s not just about seeing Savannah — it’s about understanding it.

  3. Wright Square

    10 min

    At Wright Square, learn about Tomochichi and the Native American communities whose relationships with the early Georgia colonists were important to the colony's development.

  4. Owens-thomas House & Slave Quarters

    10 min

  7. Green-Meldrim House

    15 min

    At the Green-Meldrim House, learn about Savannah's role during the American Civil War and the building's connection to General William T. Sherman. This stop helps place Savannah within the larger history of Sherman's March through Georgia and the Union capture of the city.

    10 min

    At Monterey Square, learn about the Mercer-Williams House and General Casimir Pulaski's role in the Revolutionary War. The square brings together Savannah's architecture, notable residents, and Revolutionary-era history in one of the city's most recognizable historic settings.
