Above: Views from River Street
The Savannah River is where it all began, the place that General Oglethorpe saw, admired, and came to build the city of Savannah, a dream city of sorts, where all men could be free, where debtors could find a new start, where the persecuted could follow their own faith or lack of faith.

Below: Mysterious Laurel Grove Cemetery
Resplendent with live oaks, dogwoods, pines and magnolias, Savannah’s Laurel Grove Cemetery was established in 1853 for Savannah’s African American Community. Today, Laurel Grove’s mysterious beauty captivates all who visit.

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 
A Stroll Downtown
Downtown Savannah, with its gold-domed capital building, bustling Bay Street, City Market and magnificent Federal, Victorian, Greek Revival, Italianate and Colonial homes, offers fresh surprises at every turn. The meticulously restored Lucas Theater is itself a piece of art.

 

 

 

  

    

  

  

 

 

 
Forsyth Park's Famous Fountain
Savannah’s famed Forsyth Park fountain draws visitors from around the world, as well as dozens of film productions and those who star in them. Some of Savannah’s most lavish weddings have been held here.

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 
The Serious Side of Tybee Island
After Labor Day, they call it Tybee Tyme! When the sea is serene, the shrimp boats free of curious tourists, the beach sounds are of gull calls and lapping waves, not boom boxes and rock bands on the pier.
