There’s something about Downtown Savannah that many people are drawn to – could it be the cobblestone streets? Or perhaps the centuries-old moss-draped oaks resting in the historic “Savannah Squares?” The answer? All of it, and then some!
Nestled beneath 22 park-like squares, historic Forsyth Park offers residents a large green space encompassed with landscaped walking trails, sports fields, and gardens near its center fountain. Because of its rich history, tons of museums line the community – from the Civil Rights Museum to the Juliette Gordon Low House (founder of Girl Scouts of the USA) and a hat museum!
Savannah College of Art and Design resides in Downtown Savannah near Madison Square. Tourism is mainly centered on the streets close to the Savannah River, especially River Street. On this cobblestone thoroughfare, residents and visitors alike enjoy its candy shops, rooftop bars, and historic brewpubs. Up the road, VinneVanGoGo’s is the spot for pizza.
