Review:
The Savannah Historic District is a National Historic Landmark established in 1733. It has been remarkably preserved to this day. This lovely part of Savannah sees thousands of tourists every year who stroll through the old original squares and enjoy magnificent Gothic, Georgian, and Greek Revival buildings and mansions, parks, and fountains. The area of the Historic District lies between the Savannah River, E. Broad Street, Gwinnett Street, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard.
Some of the most famous mansions and buildings include the Owens-Thomas House on Oglethorpe Square built in 1818, the Gothic Revival Greene House on Madison Square, and the Teach Institute, Savannah’s first black school, located on East Harris Street. If you are wondering what to do in Savannah, Georgia, stop by the Savannah Visitor Center located in the beautifully restored Central of Georgia railroad station to learn about self-guided tours offered in Savannah.
