Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Savannah is Georgia's oldest and most historic city, originally founded and developed in the 1730s by Georgia's colonial founder and noted urban developed James Oglethorpe. Today, the city is known as one of the American Southeast's most beautiful tourist destinations, home to massive Spanish moss and live oak trees, cobblestone-lined streets, and horse-drawn carriages.
Much of the city's historic downtown has been preserved as part of one of the United States' largest urban historic districts, including the city's iconic and uniquely laid-out public town squares.
Major attractions and landmarks throughout the city include the birthplace site of Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts, and the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the oldest museums in the American Southeast.
Cultural attractions abound, including the Savannah Theatre, the Savannah Ballet, and the Savannah Orchestra, with regular festivals such as the First Friday Art March opening up many of the city's art galleries to the public for free.
