Greene Square is a lovely public square located between York and State Streets, originally laid out in 1799 and named in honor of Revolutionary War figure Nathaniel Greene, who commanded southern forces under the guidance of George Washington.
The square, which was once a hub for the city's African American community, is home to the historic Second African Baptist Church, known as the site of General William Sherman's "40 acres and a mule" speech during the American Civil War. Historic building surrounding the square include the Cunningham House, constructed in 1810 by former slave and pastor Henry Cunningham, and the iconic Green Palm Inn facility.
