A Savannah audio walk moves square by square under a canopy of live oaks, from mossy green squares and a twin spired cathedral down to the cobbled waterfront of River Street, with narration timed to each stop so you can slow down on a bench without losing the thread.
The Squares Walk starts at the Telfair Academy, the oldest public art museum in the South, then threads south past the birthplace of the Girl Scouts' founder, the bench where Forrest Gump once sat in Chippewa Square, the twin spired Cathedral of St John the Baptist, and the Gothic Green-Meldrim House, finishing at the white fountain in Forsyth Park. It covers 2.1 kilometers, about 32 minutes of walking, almost entirely shaded.
The Riverfront Walk starts in City Market, passes Johnson Square, the first of Oglethorpe's squares, and the gold dome of City Hall, then drops down old stone stairs to the cobbles of River Street and the statue of the Waving Girl, before climbing back up past the Owens-Thomas House to Colonial Park Cemetery. It covers 2.8 kilometers, about 40 minutes, with one steep stretch between the bluff and the water.
Together the two walks cover the rhythm Savannah was built around, a square every block or two, each one a cool green room ringed by a church or a mansion, with the working river and its old cotton warehouses just a short stroll below. Both stay flat except for the stairs down to River Street, and the oaks keep most of the route shaded even in summer.
Де погуляти в Savannah
Кілька зупинок, які ви проходитимете, і чому біля них варто затриматися.
Savannah's oak-lined streets
Savannah's squares and the streets between them are shaded by live oaks old enough to have watched the city grow up around them, their branches meeting overhead and trailing long curtains of gray Spanish moss. James Oglethorpe laid out the first of these squares in 1733 as the heart of a new ward, and the city kept repeating the pattern as it expanded, so that today twenty two of the original squares survive. Traffic in Savannah flows around the squares rather than through them, which is part of why walking here feels so different from driving it. Every block or two the street opens into one of these green rooms and then closes again into the next.
Savannah City Hall
Savannah City Hall stands on Bay Street with its dome covered in gold leaf, on the exact spot where James Oglethorpe and around 114 colonists climbed the bluff from the river below to found the colony of Georgia in February 1733. The building itself opened in 1906, but the ground beneath it carries the oldest story in the city, including the early friendship between the colonists and the Yamacraw people whose leader, Tomochichi, agreed to let the newcomers settle. From the plaza out front you can look down Bull Street toward the string of squares you've just walked through, or find the stairs beside City Hall that lead down to the cobbles of River Street below.
Cathedral of St John the Baptist
Inside the twin spired Cathedral of St John the Baptist, the interior is a blaze of color, rich stained glass made in Austria in the early twentieth century and murals and gilding that make it one of the most striking church interiors in the South. The congregation traces back to the 1790s, when French refugees fleeing the revolution in Saint-Domingue, now Haiti, helped found a small Catholic community in a colony that hadn't originally welcomed them. A fire gutted the building in 1898, leaving little more than its outer walls, and the people of Savannah rebuilt it within two years. The writer Flannery O'Connor grew up nearby and came to Mass here as a child.
Monterey Square
Monterey Square is one of Savannah's grandest, its center marked by a tall monument to Casimir Pulaski, the Polish cavalry officer who died fighting for American independence in the 1779 siege of the city, all of it framed by live oaks hung with moss. On its edges stand the red brick Mercer Williams House, familiar from the cover of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and Mickve Israel, a Gothic Revival synagogue built in 1878 for a Jewish congregation that first arrived in the colony in 1733, only months after Oglethorpe himself. It's a good square to sit in for a few minutes and let the shade and the quiet do their work before continuing on toward Forsyth Park.
Historic Savannah mansions
Along almost every square on this walk stands at least one grand old mansion, built by the cotton merchants and shipping families who made Savannah rich in the nineteenth century. Many were designed by William Jay, a young English architect whose work shaped the look of the city's finest early houses, with columned porches, deep cornices and ironwork balconies facing the greenery across the street. Several are now museums you can step inside, on their own separate schedules, while others remain private homes best admired from the sidewalk. Together they give the squares their particular rhythm, a church or a public building on one side, a mansion on the other, exactly as Oglethorpe's original plan intended.
