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.

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.
