The city is famous for its antebellum architecture, horse-drawn carriages, manicured parks and cobblestone squares. You can also visit the Gothic-Revival Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist. The area has plenty to offer visitors, whether you&#8217;re looking for a relaxing vacation or a rousing day of sightseeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first stop on your Savannah tour should be the historic Davenport House, which was the site of the first attempt to build a steamship that sailed the Atlantic. Today, it is a museum featuring items from the early nineteenth century. The house was restored to reflect the life of a middle-class family in the 1820s, and tours are available daily. A visit to the Gothic Revival Green-Meldrim House, which was once home to General Sherman during the Civil War, will allow you to learn about the antebellum Georgian culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bonaventure Museum is a must-see for anyone visiting Savannah. This museum has memorabilia from early steamships and the oldest cemetery in the historic district. The building used to be the home to the owner of the first steamship to cross the Atlantic. After touring the museum, take a stroll through the large gardens in the town&#8217;s historic district. If you&#8217;re curious about the ghosts of Savannah&#8217;s past, you can also visit the creepy Colonial Park Cemetery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Historic District is home to beautiful antebellum mansions, historic churches and manicured gardens. The city also boasts 22 historic squares, including Chippewa Square, which was the setting of the film Forrest Gump. The town plan was laid out by James Oglethorpe in 1733. You can take a horse-drawn carriage to explore the city&#8217;s past. The ride is both fun and educational, and is sure to give you a new perspective on Savannah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The historic district of Savannah is full of historical buildings, which date back to the 17th century. The area is also home to the famous Conrad Aiken and Johnny Mercer. The city is also a popular destination for photographers. The gorgeous Cathedral of St. John the Baptist is a stunning church spire from the late eighteenth century. The oldest Roman Catholic church in the state, it is the most picturesque place in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The historic district is home to many interesting sights. Forrest Gump allegedly delivered his famous line in the town&#8217;s Chippewa Square, and the First Baptist Church appeared in the movie&#8217;s opening scene. The area is also home to a variety of artists, including painters and crafters. The city is a cultural hub for people of all ages and backgrounds. There are plenty of great places to shop, dine and enjoy the arts in Savannah, and you can even spend a day wandering around and see them all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Located on the coast of Georgia and South Carolina, the historic city of Savannah is a must-see for Southern tourists.
