Savannah is one of the American South's most historic cities, originally developed according to a unique master plan by Georgia colony founder James Oglethorpe throughout the 1730s. Today, the city is one of Georgia's top tourist destinations, known for its gorgeous Spanish moss and live oak trees, cobblestone streets, and horse-drawn carriage tours. The city's lovely historic downtown center has been preserved as one of the United States' largest urban historic districts, noted for its unique public town squares, which are laid out according to a unique grid style. Visitors can explore historic sites such as the birthplace of Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Low and the Telfair Academy, one of the American Southeast's oldest museums. Cultural attractions like the Savannah Theatre and the Savannah Ballet present regular performances, while delicious restaurants serve up some of Georgia's best gourmet Southern cuisine.
