One of the oldest cities in America, Savannah, Georgia is filled with charming and historic homes and gardens that date back to the 18th century. In the city's early days, once-bustling warehouses and markets were filled with goods and materials carried on tall-masted ships sailing into port on the Savannah River; in modern times, a cobblestoned street continues to feature shops, markets and some of the finest seafood in the city.
River Street, located within the North Historic District, is one of the hottest places (figuratively and literally) to go when visiting the sweltering Southern city, especially on St. Patrick's Day, as one of the nation's largest parades fills the air with the sound of bagpipes.
Tour the historical homes and gardens of the city, including the birthplace of Girl Scouts' founder Juliet Gordon Low, and follow along with walking tours to learn of the storied past of Savannah.
