Historic District

Savannah Georgia’s 1733 Beginnings. Recognized as one of the nation's largest historic districts, Savannah has preserved a proud history and has built upon its reputation as a living museum. 

Easy-going leisure is a must-do experience in the walking-resort-feeling historic district.  Around the infamous historic district squares rise charming old inns, churches, and homes with balconies and sweeping staircases. 

The Savannah National Historic Landmark, known for its 18th- and 19th-century architecture and gardens, encompasses the original town plan laid out in 1733 by James Edward Oglethorpe, founder of the British colony of Georgia.

Of historic Savannah Georgia squares Chan Sieg writes, “The Squares are the sine qua non of ‘Savannah Style,’ social life, the economic heart of the area, the religious and artistic endeavors, even the political and justice systems - all are intimately enmeshed in the little green parks that simultaneously separate and bring together the community."  

Historic Savannah sightseeing tours, a brief Savannah Georgia history film, and points of interest are available at the Savannah Convention and Visitors Center -- located on the site of the 1779 Siege of Savannah now Martin Luther King Boulevard at Liberty Street. Its Savannah History Museum includes a diorama of the siege, films, an antique cotton gin (which Eli Whitney invented in Savannah), and a recent addition, a replica of the bench made famous by Forrest Gump.
