Savannah Historic District

 The Savannah Historic District was much better than I expected.  The district includes the original town grid  plan that was laid out by Gen. James Oglethorpe who founded the Georgia Colony.  The buildings which are 18th and 19th century architecture, are very awesome.  The city retains much of its original cobble stone streets, brick walkways, and the twenty-four park, open spaces or "squares".  Many streets are lined with trees draped in Spanish moss.  The river front is quite nice as well.

We also toured the Bonaventure Cemetery. The cemetery was originally a plantation and became a private cemetery in 1846. Later it became a public cemetery.  It is over 100 acres in size.
